In the book "The Miserable Mill," Klaus Baudelaire had been hypnotized. Klaus however snapped out of hypnotism and over heard the Count Olaf's plan to murder Charles. Since he heard this plan he rigged everything that was fatal to not even leave a scratch. The next day when he was hypnotized again Charles was put into a wood cutter machine, good thing that Klaus made the blade stop with a piece of metal allowing Charles to slide right through safely. I would've just taken out the blade instead of jamming it with a piece a metal because there was still a chance of Charles dieing.
If I was the author I would've ended the story differently. Instead of Count Olaf breaking the window and running, I would've wrote that the window was bullet proof and
Count Olaf didn't even leave a dent. I would change this because I don't like how Count Olaf gets away because it leaves the Baudelaire scared, thinking that he might return. Another reason I would change this is because the whole book overall is pretty sad and this ending would make you want to read the next book. Overall, I don't think the ending to this book was very good.
Reading this book made me feel bad for the Baudelaire orphans. I felt this way because during the entire book they always were doubtful and they never were happy not even for a second. For example the first sentence in the book was this, "The Baudelaire orphans looked out the grimy window of the train and gazed at the gloomy blackness of the Finite Forest, wondering if their lives would get any better." Just this sentence sets a very unhappy tone for the start of the book. At the end, This book made me feel bad for the Baudelaire orphans and their misfortune.
