A review by whorriorr
The Basic Eight by Daniel Handler

4.0

It was an interesting book- that's for sure. More explicit than I would have expected from someone who wrote "A Series of Unfortunate of Events" but just as sarcastic and satirical as I expected. There were some things that didn't make a lot of sense but I think that was mostly Handler putting emphasis on the main character's insanity. The plot twist was pretty predictable but satisfying enough. Though I do think the middle of the story dragged on while the climax and ending felt rushed. But this definitely deserves a reread in the future.
