Horseradish: Bitter Truths You Can't Avoid

(4) 4-6 This book offers aphorisms about family, school, books, travel, love, and other subjects, all of which reflect Snicket's particular worldview. Though some are funny or (gasp!) earnest, even Snicket fans may find that the dourness so effectively incorporated into his Series of Unfortunate Events stories wears thin without an overarching narrative thread to tie everything together.
