SuitabookThe Hostile Hospital
Lemony Snicket
- Reading
- Try reading together or pausing after unsettling moments to talk about how the humour affects the scene. The overview does not reveal how intense or frequent these moments are.
- Themes
- Seeking safety: The Baudelaires look for somewhere safe away from villains and local police, and consider Heimlich Hospital. The overview sets up a contrast between the hope of refuge and possible further misfortune, but does not show how the story judges their choices.
- Worth knowing
- Unnecessary surgery and anaesthesia are named among the possible encounters. If medical procedures are a concern for your reader, consider checking in before or during those parts.
