Swarm of Bees by Lemony Snicket
2.0
I loved ‘the Dark’ by Lemony Snicket. This is not even close to that. I don’t really like the artwork much. The story seems a little mean. The bees are angry and I get that sometimes it does feel good to get angry. The nephew was so disappointed the boy in the story did not get stung. He did laugh that the boy was throwing tomatoes at everyone. I had to tell him that he could never do that. I could tell he was ignoring me. He’s good at that. He lives by the motto: ask forgiveness not permission.
It’s a rather weird beginning story really. Neither kid knew what to make of it. The boy didn’t really get in trouble for throwing tomatoes at everyone besides having to clean them up. The bees just got put in a bag. I don’t know what to make of it either. It’s one line or so per page with crayon looking artwork. I do wonder if the bees sort of represent the boys anger in some ways, but bees generally aren't aggressive. I don't know.
The niece did not like this. She gave this 1 star. The nephew thought throwing tomatoes was funny and he gave it 3 stars. You should see what you make of the story. Strange.
