Chronicle In Favor Of Books Horseradish
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.

I actually started this book a while back and couldn't get into it. However, in cleaning off my desk I saw that it had a bookmark in it, indicating that I wasn't that far. So, I picked it up again today.And I finished it.It's not a story, so don't go into it thinking you will get a tale. However, it has some great little quotes, some serious. Some humorous. Because of this, I was able to enjoy it. For example, I really liked "Everyone should be able to do one card trick, tell two jokes, andThis book is hilarious! It has many random bits from the Series of Unfortunate events. I think this book would make a great book for the coffee table, because you could open it up and giggle at it without having to read a whole story. I just recently read the series of unfortunate events and it was fun to find quotes that I had read aloud to my roommate.
Read 95% of the book with a smile on my face. Snicket is rare, wonderful, and refreshing!!Eight of my fave "truths you can't avoid":Perhaps if we saw what was ahead of us, and glimpsed the crimes, follies, and misfortunes that would befall us later on, we would all stay in our mother's wombs, and then there would be nobody in the world but a great number of very fat, very irritated women.It is one of life's bitterest truths that bedtime so often arrives just when things are really getting
When I first saw this book, I thought to myself, "What a waste. It's one of those silly quote books, with at most a paragraph a page. Harumph." Yet once I was half-way through, I found myself thinking, "Every kid needs to know these things, preferably with as little pain as possible. This book is that painless means by which one may inform them, gently, of the inherent unfairness and occasional joys of life." By the time I was finished, I wished I could hop into a time machine, travel back in
I just happened upon this quirky litle book in the store where I 'moonlight' on the weekends. There was one copy face-out on a display table with other books with titles like "7 Secrets of Success" or "6 Lessons on Life" ...This one obviously stood out among the others, with its simply clean cover and of course, the interesting title. I picked it up to find out more.It didn't take very long to read through the entire book. With chapters laid out on different aspects of one's life (Family, Home,
How could I not give this a positive review with such obvious panders as:Never trust anyone who has not brought a book with them.andA good library will never be too neat, or too dusty, because somebody will always be in it, taking books off the shelves and staying up late reading them.Because even though those examples aren't what give Snicket's collection their depth,One of the remarkable things about love is that, despite very irritating people writing poems and songs about how pleasant it is,
I think that Lemony Snickets advice about putting cats in your mouth if youre allergic dont do it is excellent.That is all I have to say about this book.
