“It is difficult, when faced with a situation you cannot control, to admit you can do nothing.” ― Lemony Snicket, Horseradish: Bitter Truths You Can't Avoid

me and my twin both are avid readers of Lemony Snicket's "A Series Of Unfortunate Events" because of the authors unique and interesting way of pulling the readers' interest with his mysterious techniques on how to make us stick 'till the 13th book. All he did was warned us that it wasn't 'A Happy Ending'. Easy right? well, as the watch of the 12th book "THE PENULTIMATE PERIL" alarmed when it struck 12 o'clock, WRONG! it is simply difficult to do that and yet, this author knows just when to slot in that warning in the perfect timing of the book. I gotta say,well played mr. Snicket.I admire him for his smart quotes that leaves you a mark no matter how confusing it is but you just couldn't help but admire it for being very interesting and one of a kind like "The moral of Snow White is never eat apples". Also, noticed how he likes to take black and white pictures without revealing his face?that's what i loved most about. he's one very mysterious man with lots of secrets, lots of dangerous secrets that once you find out, you yourself can't get out of the situations. ooo,gives you the chill,ain't it?

 But i have just found out that Lemony Snicket was only his pen name. His real name was Daniel Handler (and he's not dead yet, YAY:D) 

He's playing a melodeum *BIGGRIN*

he was born on 28th February (just 3 days after mine:D) 1970. Good thing he's still writing. I'm still hoping on meeting him and ask him for a signature on a book i currently posessed right now. It's interesting though, the way i get that book, i'll get back to you on that on other posts. After finally seeing his face, i was abit...taken aback. Well, i was expecting older but seeing him quite young but able to write such fantastic books had made me realize how amazing he is and made me respect him more and more. I wish i could read his other books. I'll try my best to possess all his work, there's this book called "The Beatrice Letters". Only did i discovered this book when i was researching bout him and found out it was published in between his 13th and last book.

It was said to be connected to the 13th book. That's when i realized i had missed out something important amidst finishing the book. The first book had already left me struck on the name Beatrice but all i could figure out was she was the late lover of Lemony Snicket and she was murdered(?) by Count Olaf but after i almost reached the last book, Beatrice was once again a question mark for she was more than a credit,she was part of the character too, which means Lemony Snicket was involved as well.It was proved in the 7th book "THE VILE VILLAGE" where they came across Lemony Snicket's brother but soon killed by the villagers for being mistakin with Olaf with such believable disguise and the 12th and 13th book, "THE PENULTIMATE PERIL" and "THE END" where they came across Lemony Snickets' pregnant sister who died at the end of the book as well after being shot with a harpoon gun but thank goodness the baby was born. The ending had left the deepest meaning when the baby is said to mention the Bauldelaire's mother's name. "Beatrice". up until now, i still don't know where the sugar bowl is, or whether their parents are really dead or alive, or if the Quagmire triplets and Hector is safe up in the air, or what happens to the bearded man with no hair and the hairy woman with no beard, all is unsolved.And yet, like all the other books, another series was left with as what Lemony Snicket had mentioned, "Solved a mystery to unveil more unsolved mysteries"
