A review by stinamirabilis
The Basic Eight by Daniel Handler

3.0

As a kid I really enjoyed Daniel Handler's later works "A Series Of Unfortunate Events", written under the moniker Lemony Snicket, and I was really interested in how he would write for an adult.
It wasn't what I was expected - completely different, I guess - but still as enjoyable. I didn't see the end coming at all, although I wish he'd spent more time on it, rather than just kind of abruptly ending. I don't know. This review sounded a lot more eloquent in my head. I really liked this book, though.
