File Under: 13 Suspicious Incidents by Lemony Snicket
5.0
Some Lemony Snicket humor -
"You do it."
"I don't want to."
"Don't be a baby, Harvey."
"Don't be an infant, Mimi."
"Don't be a fetus."
"Don't be a zygote."
"Don't be a woman and a man ---"
"I just had my chaperone and her wild, enormous hair, which this morning had not one but two hairbrushes stuck in the back. There was a knock on the door [...]. I was very interested in seeing a postman at last, but it was Theodora who opened the door, and her enormous hair blocked my view, so I only saw a white-gloved hand reaching toward me, as if through a wild bush growing hairbrushes."
This book contains 13 mysteries, but 24 "solutions" (and a blank fill-in-the letters type as a 25th), but only 13 actually line up with the mysteries presented (at the end of each mystery, readers are directed to the corresponding solution/page number). This is undoubtedly a mystery we are meant to solve ourselves, but I've only finished reading the book today, and haven't had time to come up with a proper theory.
This book doesn't add to the storyline of "All the Wrong Questions" (in any way that I can see), but it's a delight to spend more time in this world with familiar characters. Overall, this was a great book to tide me over until "Shouldn't You Be in School?" comes out September 30, 2014.
