I'm allowing this for the same reason that I allowed the "book the fifth" thread. General reviews of TEE, please.

In TEE, somewhere near the middle, I think, then she gives a huge list, which included very fancy doilies, and dustbins with letters of the alphabet stencilled all over them (if that's not a reference to the box which the doilies were in, it's gotta be some weird Handler in-joke). |

And magenta wallpaper, and vacuum cleaners. My mother was pleased by that bit-it meant she's certainly "in"...

I also remember triangular picture frames, paintings of waterfalls, and billboards with photographs of weasels on them. Enormous globes were too, apparently.
And I liked the two pages of blackness. So evocative.

The in thing was pretty cool. I also liked the blackness and the fact that Esmé betrays them. And the red herring. First time they've been truly tricked. The doorman fooled them proper too.

...dustbins with letters of the alphabet stencilled all over them (if that's not a reference to the box which the doilies were in, it's gotta be some weird Handler in-joke). It sounds like Sesame Street to me. Didn't their trash cans have letters on them? Anyone remember? Oscar's didn't, at least, but what about the other ones? |

TEE, page 119.
"He told me a long list of new things that are in" Esmé squealed. "For one thing, grapefruits. Also bright blue cereal bowls, billboards with photographs of weasels on them, and plenty of other thing that I will list for you right now."
TEE, page 120-1.
...any more than he was listening to automobile tires, cross country skiing, movies with waterfalls in them, and the rest of the things Esmé was rattling off.
"Oh, and magenta wallpaper!" Esmé said..."And triangular picture frames, and very fancy doilies, and garbage cans with letters of the alphabet stenciled all over them and-"
TEE, page 121
"Yellow paper clips are in, Jerome"
TEE, page 122
"Vacuum cleaners!" Esmé said. "I knew there was something else he told me was in. Oh, and cotton balls, and anything with chocolate sprinkles on it, and..."

And since Esme has tons of things that are in, I guess you could consider her in, also.

And I can't believe anyone was so bored that they bothered to find all the in things. Either that or Snicketfires is interested in it. I am neither. |
