A wonderful little read. If you enjoyed Snicket’s other works, you will certainly enjoy this one. The ramblings of the author are endearing, and really allow the reader to step into the plot on a personal level. The philosophy isn’t too heavy handed, and I very much enjoyed the small pieces of personal anecdotes. The literature references are just as carefully chosen and fun to spot as they are in Snicket’s other works.
