This is a NEED TO READ book in A Series of Unfortunate Events. I'm kinda mad at myself that I didn't have a chance to read it before. It was really good, written in Lemony Snicket's humorous style and it cleared up a whole lot of questions that I had from the series. I really enjoyed it and would suggest that anyone who read the series read this ASAP.

This book is invaluable to anyone who has read the entire Series of Unfortunate Events.

*spoilers*


It is important to note that the Beatrice Lemony Snicket is writing to is the Baudelaires' mother, whereas the Beatrice who is writing to him is Kit Snicket's child.

There is also a poster contained in this collection on letters, which I believe is meant to imply that the Baudelaires have died.

Ah well. 'Twas The End after all.

„I will love you if I never see you again,
And I will love you if I see you every Tuesday.”
Przepiękny zbiór listów, nie wiem nawet czy jest polskie tłumaczenie, ale na pewno lepsza jest wersja angielska.♥️

"I will love you even if I never see you again."

4 stars because this was really beautiful but i haven't read the series so it was quite confusing. But I really loved the iconic Lemony quote :')

If you like "interactive" books that make you think and you have read A Series of Unfortunate Events, then I would say definitely check this out.

I loved how as you read the series, you get more and more clues as to who this mysterious Beatrice woman is who Lemony Snicket dedicates all of his books to. Of course, when I saw The Beatrice Letters sitting on a shelf in Borders, I had to buy it.

Inside, it's not like a normal book. It has two different file holders, one for letters and one for letters. So Snicket, yes? One is to collect letters that you literally punch out of the book as you read and the other is for a collection of letters that is bound into a book. It's really a unique book. It's difficult to understand, of course. What Snicket book isn't? But I liked having to think about everything that was said during the book and coming up with my own ideas as to what was going on and how everything was linked together.

I really like how the fonts are different and that there are details to each page such as a crease-looking line or a coffee cup ring stain. I liked all of the pictures too. I also liked how as you read along, you got new letters to punch out and collect. The poster was a nice touch as well.

I won't give away anything but if you have any theories and want to hear mine, message me!
