Nothing really happened in book two. I remember trying to read this series years ago when I was in middle school and can see why I stopped two or three books in. Even listening to them now I don't know how far I'll get.
The three siblings are now living with Montgomery Montgomery, another uncle with an acquired taste in reptiles. Their uncle is getting them ready for a grand trip to Peru until Count Olaf comes back and does everything he can to gain his fortune.
90% of this book felt like it was about an argument about which car the children should sit it. It's more of the same as the first one and I can easily see why they made it into one movie.
I'm going to try one more of these and if I don't like the next one I don't see the point in continuing.
