Product Description

Product Description

Life is a turbulent journey, fraught with confusion, heartbreak, and inconvenience. This book will not help. Many collections slap together the wit and wisdom of certain authors in the hopes of inspiring a reader at a crucial time in his or her life. This book contains a bouquet of alarming but inescapable truths from the work of Lemony Snicket, along with selections from his unpublished papers and remarks he has made at dinner parties and anarchist riots, in order to remind the reader that even the loftiest of inspirations contains a sharp, bitter kernel of dread - and vice versa.

About the Author

Mr Snicket has spent the last several eras researching the travails of the Baudelaire orphans. He is the author of thirteen books collectively entitled A Series of Unfortunate Events, as well as the supplementary materials The Beatrice Letters and Lemony Snicket: The Unauthorized Autobiography. During his spare time, he gathers evidence and is considered something of an expert by leading authorities. Lemony Snicket published his first book in 1999 and has not had a good night's sleep since. To his horror and dismay, he has no wife or children, only enemies, associates, and the occasional loyal manservant. Lemony Snicket's extended family, if they were alive, would describe him as a distinguished scholar, an amateur connoisseur, and an outright gentleman. A lifelong resident, he now divides his time, and is currently at work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting and true quotations, 31 Dec 2007
By Nina Hall "MUFC" (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This is another great book by Lemony Snicket, however it is different from the rest. This one is full of nothing but quotations, or pieces of advice, of pure wisdom from a number of authors. It also includes a story about a young woman. All of these pieces of advice have morals and so do the stories. It is a nice book that you could dip in and out of.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Delight, 29 Sep 2008
By J. Grant (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A darkly witty volume full of interesting, bizarre and ultimately very sensible truths. Each page has either a quotation or a paragraph of wisdom, and for easy reference the book is separated into sections such as Home, School, Work, Entertainment, Affairs of the Heart, etc. If you are a fan of the series due to Handler's superb narrative technique then this book won't leave you disappointed.
