5.0 out of 5 stars Collector's item or valuable clues?, , 28 Sep 2006
By Amanda Richards "Hotpurplekoolaid" (ECD, Guyana) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
If there's anyone on your gift list unlucky enough to own the entire series of unfortunate events, you may wish to inflict further adversity upon them by purchasing this additional volume for their collection. Not so much a book as a mystery contained between hard covers, this most attractively presented publication contains two folders, one with a large two-sided poster filled with clues, and a notebook containing correspondence exchanged between a guy named Lemony Snicket and what seems to be two people named Beatrice Baudelaire, one of whom claims to be a fourth Baudelaire sibling. The letters begin before The Bad Beginning and end sometime after The End.

It soon becomes evident that the notebook contains many clues, and from the cover we learn that these clues are "suspiciously linked to Book the Thirteenth". The most obvious puzzle is the anagram using the punch out letters, but there's no way in heck that anybody's going to ruin the notebook by actually doing that. There are several solutions to the anagram, two of which contain names, the simplest one seeming to tie in with the poster illustration, and the other one connected through the correspondence. Even the cover has an illustrated surprise which could also be a clue.

Conspiracy buffs will have a field day with this one, which is a lot trickier that it looks. For instance the occupation "baticeer" (someone who trains bats) won't be found in the dictionary, and the poem "My Silence Knot" is also a puzzle. It's highly unlikely that I'll be any closer to revealing any secrets by the time "The End" comes out next month, so I guess I'll just have to wait and see. In the interim, this one gets full marks for originality and presentation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lemony Snicket: The Beatrice Letters, 2 Nov 2007
If you like all the Lemony books then this is a great book to read. It is mysterious, but interesting and doesnt give much away. But if however youve already read the last in a series of unfortunate events, then some mystery and excitement is removed because you alredy know who beatrice is.

TIP: if anyone really wants to know who beatrice is, just look at the last word in the last chapter of the last book of the series and you'll find out. you kinda need to read the whole chapter as well though. also you really need to read all the books in order cos if you dont the endings are revealed before youve read every book. it especially starts mattereing around book 6 - the ersatz elevator

all in all, very mysterious but a great, fairly quick read

5.0 out of 5 stars Great , 27 Sep 2006
It is great and is a must-get for leamony snicket fans, it reveals some well... a very big part of the story (i think) of the 13th book! it also tells you how the count olaf was as a child (11-13 years) and is a bit confusing because you have to do an anagram to rearange the letters (as in envalope kind) in the write order, which is a pain.
