Lemony Snickett: The Unauthorized Autobiography

Lemony Snickett: The Unauthorized Autobiography, Harper Collins Publishers, New York, 2002.

This is more of the same as the Unfortunate Events series.  However in this case there is no plot.  There is a chapter where a person disguised as a cow is wandering around to discover what happened to Uncle Monty’s reptile collection.  This book has the same style, of just wandering form this to that without any reason.  The Unfortunate Event books had a plot.  This does no, but is written in the same style.  The only part I enjoyed was the explanation of why the telegraphs sent by the Baudelaire children were unanswered.  The answer is that the bank was convinced that telegrams could cause harm.  Many people were easily manipulated which allowed the unfortunate events to take place.
