Summary: courtesy of goodreads.com Lemony Snicket's work is
filled with bitter truths, like: 'It is always cruel to laugh at people, of
course, although sometimes if they are wearing an ugly hat it is hard to
control yourself.' Or: 'It is very easy to say that the important thing is to
try your best, but if you are in real trouble the most important thing is not
trying your best, but getting to safety.'
For all of life's ups and downs, its celebrations and its
sorrows, here is a book to commemorate it all - especially for those not fully
soothed by chicken soup. Witty and irreverent, Horseradish is a book with
universal appeal, a delightful vehicle to introduce
Snicket's uproariously
unhappy observations to a crowd not yet familiar with the Baudelaires'
misadventures.
My Review: What a fun little book! I was recommended to this
by a girl I work with who has a love of non-fiction. Lemony Snicket delivers such a fun treat
hiding amongst the Dewey decimals. Filled with little quotes and thoughts that
are full of the dry humor and wit that Snicket is known for. This is the perfect coffee table or
nightstand book, because every single page is filled with something fun and
enlightening to read. I definitely
recommend it if you’ve got an hour and you want to kill time, or if you want to
put something especially witty as your facebook status update.
