Poison for Breakfast by Lemony Snicket
5.0
I received this book from Netgalley/publisher in exchange of an honest review.
This is going to be short review, one only to come on Goodreads as it will be very short. This was a wonderful bewildering, surprising, mysterious, fantastical, what is happening right now because what are we doing now, 1001% Lemony Snicket book. It is a stream of conscious and I can honestly (truly) tell you that it took me 3 days because it was so confuddling and so much. I just had to take breaks while reading. This is by no means a bad thing. My head is just a bit overloaded at the moment and cannot take a lot. Normally I wouldn't have liked a stream of conscious kind of book, but with Lemony Snicket it worked out. It felt like coming home. It felt like he was talking to me. Explaining things, words and other things. Being philosophical. Of course, the book is also about poison and all the yummy food Snicket had for breakfast. Be prepared for a ride of your life (meaning that you better strap up) I had tons of fun reading this book. I will definitely be adding it to my Lemony Snicket collection (which here means my Unfortunate Event books (various editions) and all the other books Mr. Snicket has penned down).
This book may not be for everyone, but it is definitely a book for all the fans of Lemony Snicket.
