Book Overview

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. This description may be from another edition of this product.

Classic Snicket

By Thriftbooks.com User, July 12, 2008

A little book of random quotes dealing with several facets of life. It is classic Snicket.

Unqualified to appropriately say...

By Thriftbooks.com User, October 30, 2007

What little I've read so far is like fortune cookie sayings and daily calendar tips or quotes. I like them and am looking forward to reading more of it.

Like a book of proverbs - except useful

By Thriftbooks.com User, September 28, 2007

I got this book for my 18th birthday and thought it was very fitting. No, it does not tell an actual story; yes, it is a little expensive; and no, your young children probably won't enjoy it as much as you hoped they would. It's aimed more at YA and up and is basically a book of Snicketified proverbs that will temporarily relieve some of the bitterness that goes along with these truths. There is never anything surprising...

Amazing, if you like lemony snicket

By Thriftbooks.com User, June 2, 2007

it was a great book, written in the style only lemony snicket knows, if you like to read quotes, etc, you'll love this book, but it has absolutely no information on the Baudalaires or on anything related to A Series of Unfortunate Events
