Hello everyone I am Suda, It is nice to meet you all. I have been a huge fan of Lemony Snicket for a very long time to the point it was the first book series I learned how to read all by self to writing college essays about some of the plot points and metaphors that are connected in the Snicketverse. It is really nice to meet more people who love the same things as myself. I run a ASOUE tumblr blog but when someone told me there was a forum I jumped at the chance. If you have any questions I am more then happy to answer.

Hello Suda and welcome to 667. I hope you enjoy it here. Your tumblr mentions All the Wrong Questions a couple of times, based on a quick skim through it; have you read ATWQ, and if so, what did you think of it?

Hello Suda and welcome to 667. I hope you enjoy it here. Your tumblr mentions All the Wrong Questions a couple of times, based on a quick skim through it; have you read ATWQ, and if so, what did you think of it? I really enjoyed All the Wrong Questions as well as most of the other books published by Daniel Handler. I love old style pulp novels as well as noire fiction to an extent and his blend of comedy and mystery was on point. Though I won't spoil anything a lot of the major things that were supposed to be twists I was figured out books before they were revealed. That is not to say I did not enjoy them and there were plenty of twists I did not see. All the characters were love able and I loved how they matured and developed as the series went on as well as Lemony. Honestly I did not have that many problems with the books. I have plenty else I could talk about but I would end up either writing a wall or an essay on all the stuff from cooking to book recommendations thoughout the series to even small references that a child might not pick up on but a well versed reader dies at because of how amazing a joke they are for a series. The ending was meh though I'll leave it at that but I need to reread the series again to maybe have a better understand or buy the last audio book and marathon it.

Yes, I'm planning to re-read the series again soon, particularly the last book (?4). Apart from when a book has just been released, we don't mind spoilers on the forum, but if you want to be sensitive to anyone who's not read a particular book, you can use spoiler tags by enclosing the text you want to write with the code [spoiler][/spoiler] so it will display like this. We have a few threads listing some of the book references we've spotted over the series: this is the thread for ?4 and this is the one for ?3.

Thank you for the heads up I have been on several forums for books that don't allow spoilers unless it is in a certain thread. Most of the things that I saw coming a mile away was who Hang Fire was, why he needed the bombinating beast. The stuff I never saw was Pip and Squeaks dad and Moxies mom leaving those were heart breaking. I really enjoyed the books but then again anything Lemony Snicket writes in on point and entertaining all the way to the end. Though the ending was more like "ok then that is how it ends more questions then answers I guess I asked all the wrong questions".

Hi Suda, and welcome! I think I'm going to have to follow you on tumblr - in fact, I think I've already come across your blog a few times. =) Thank you very much for the follow! I have been active on Tumblr on the most part until someone told me about these forums. I had to jump onto the opportunity to have more involvement in my favorite community in the whole world.
