5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful and long overdue, March 11, 2006

I do not know how Amazon marketed this book, but my notifcation email from the publisher, HarperCollins, clearly stated that this was a blank journal. It sounds like some people are disappointed with Amazon, but that should not cause them to give this wonderful journal just one star.

This hardback journal has lined pages and is full of original illustrations and also some of the wittiest quotes from the books. The whole mood of the journal fits so well with the books that it is a must have for any Lemony Snicket fan who needs a new commonplace book. It is beautifully done and something that was long overdue.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice commonplace book, March 13, 2006

By 

Ms. Barnes (MD) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Notorious Notations (A Series of Unfortunate Events - Blank Journal) (Hardcover)

This is a very nice commonplace book for the fans of A Series of Unfortunate events. Nicely bound, and quotes from the books are scattered throughout the pages.

I am not sure why everyone else is so upset about this book. It is fairly obvious it is not a new book. The title doesn't match new books, the price isn't the same, it came out only 6 months after the most recent edition (book 12), and in the listing I see, it says, "(Journal)". The cover doesn't even look like the cover of one of the books in the series.

Must-have for the Baudelaire fan who wishes to keep his or her own journal.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Notorious Notations, September 25, 2006

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Notorious Notations (A Series of Unfortunate Events - Blank Journal) (Hardcover)

As a big Lemony Snicket fan, being thirteen, my opinion may not matter much to anyone who reads it. However, I, like Klaus Baudelaire, have read many a more books than the average man reads in a lifetime. Having the reading comprehension of an adult, I say the book was utterly Snicket, a phrase here whitch means "Nothing less than expected of this wonderful, and slightly misunderstood, author." So I shame those who have given him merely two stars!! I have, like Mr.Snicket and the Baudelaires, have done a great deal of research on him, and some do not like his books, while others find it perfect for their taste. I am one of these people, who love a good mystery WITHIN the story, not a mystery itself. So for those who dislike Mr. Snicket, go read Pride and Prejudice, and leave this book alone.
