Book Description

October 26, 2004 10 and up5 and upA Series of Unfortunate Events
Dear Wall Enthusiast, If you are looking for some sort of decoration for the walls of your home or cell, you have picked up the wrong item entirely. Not only is this poster book far too heavy to be nailed to a wall, the images it contains are extremely depressing. This book contains nothing but unnecessarily large photographs of distressing moments in the miserable lives of the three Baudelaire siblings. Even if you flip through the book as quickly as possible, you are likely to see images of a burnt-down house, a deadly snake, a bad play, and a notorious villain in a variety of badly tailored disguises. Your blank walls would be better off covered with a tapestry, a word which here means "an ugly piece of cloth too thin to use as a blanket and too large to use as a napkin." With all due respect, Lemony Snicket

About the Author

Lemony Snicket was born before you were, and is likely to die before you as well. His family has roots in a part of the country which is now underwater, and his childhood was spent in the relative splendor of the Snicket Villa which has since become a factory, a fortress and a pharmacy and is now, alas, someone else's villa.

To the untrained eye, Mr. Snicket's hometown would not appear to be filled with secrets. Untrained eyes have been wrong before. The aftermath of the scandal was swift, brutal and inaccurately reported in the periodicals of the day. It is true, however, that Mr. Snicket was stripped of several awards by the reigning authorities, including Honorable Mention, the Grey Ribbon and First Runner Up. The High Council reached a convenient if questionable verdict and Mr. Snicket found himself in exile.

Though his formal training was chiefly in rhetorical analysis, he has spent the last several eras researching the travails of the Baudelaire orphans. This project, being published serially by HarperCollins, takes him to the scenes of numerous crimes, often during the off-season. Eternally pursued and insatiably inquisitive, a hermit and a nomad, Mr. Snicket wishes you nothing but the best.

4.0 out of 5 stars Series of Unfortunate Events Poster Book, February 11, 2009
This review is from: The Pessimistic Posters (A Series of Unfortunate Events Movie Poster Book) (Paperback)
A Poster Book Worth Having, But Not All That Great.

The Poster Book Includes Text Like ''It Is Better To Be On The Wrong Track Than Hit By The Right Train'', ''Caution: Certain Chores Maybe Dangerous, Pouisonis, Fatal, or All Three'', and Others. Obviously, What Would A Series of Unfortunate Events Book Without The ''Don't Buy This Item'' Warning By Lemony Snicket, Which is On The Book.

The Bad Thing About The Book is That Very Few of The Posters in The Book Are Good.

Overall, The Book is Worth Having, But Not A Must-Buy, Unlease Your A Hard-Core Fan of The Series.

Overall Rating-4.5/5
