As an introduction, it definitely does its job very well, but if you take it as its
own piece, it is not that interesting. I do love the settings,
which are only represented again in The Penultime Peril.
Its meaning for me is very huge though, it brings to life the characters
I love so much (and Count Olaf). Klaus is a bit ugly in this cover (and that)
goes against Lemony's own description of the Baudelaire siblings.
