Hmmm...well I was reluctant to try this after the disappointment of the last two volumes in A Series of Unfortunate Events, so I gave it a looooooooooooooooooong break. Turns out that was a good idea, because the basic jokes are the same and Lemony Snicket is not nearly as fun as the Baudelaire fami...
For more reviews, check out my blog: Craft-CycleAs with The Series of Unfortunate Events, this book is not altogether satisfying at the end and leaves more questions asked than answered, but it is still an entertaining mystery story. I enjoyed learning more about Lemony Snicket's youth and how he go...
I picked this book up at my local library, after noticing it was written by Lemony Snicket, the author of the oh-so-fabulous series - the series of unfortunate events. Now don't get me wrong, I adored these books. They were just so beautifully written and the plots in each one were just amazing. So ...
I, like many other people, loved The Series of Unfortunate Events as a child so when I found out that this series would be a prequel of sorts, I was PUMPED. It only took me a couple years to getting around to reading the first book in this prequel series.Lemony Snicket is probably one of my favorite...
Cleverly written and amusing, and as always in Lemony Snicket stories, more questions than answers. Based on what I've read in other reviews of this book and others in the series, this is a prequel, or at least somehow related, to A Series of Unfortunate Events. If there were any hints to that eff...

There are some colorful characters, as you will typically find in a Snicket book, and I can see them growing weirder a...
Not as riveting as A Series of Unfortunate Events but just as mysterious and funny. I love the sneaky descriptions of well known books. Although I don't know what's the one with the silverdmith with the burned hand...
4.5 starsThis was such an adventurous story. I enjoyed reading about this mystery with all of these little twists, it sure was a lot of fun. Lemony Snicket was a witty character, who had the right sense of right and wrong and his investigative style was just great to follow. The other characters lik...
I only read the first book of Snicket's popular A Series of Unfortunate Events. I enjoyed it. I plan to finish the series at some point. But as an exhausted book series junkie, I have a hard time getting overly excited about series these days. There are just too many of them out there. And they take...
