My school still hands out book orders- some of the books were merely Zac Efron sticker books for brainwashed brats who hate reading actual novels- and they had The Beatrice Letters. Next to the picture where it says all the general info (pages, author, etc, etc), it said something in the book description. Well, of course it said something in the description- to the point, it read: What was Count Olaf like as a child? Part of the bestsellingA Series of Unfortunate Events! TBL, obviously, focuses on the two Beatrices and Lemony Snicket. I used to think that Count Olaf and Lemony Snicket were the same person, but I gave up after reading The End. 'Didn't really sa what Olaf was like as a child it said what Lemony was like. Is it possible that Olaf is Snicket? He was buried in TE...

Count Olaf's child self does make a brief, but illuminating, appearance in one of the letters. However, the description in general is a misleading excerpt from a more wide-ranging synopsis which, to my recollection, also said the book would answer questions such as what would happen in Book the Thirteenth, and what the ingredients are of a really good root beer float. All three are only minor parts of TBL - sideshows to the main event, if you like.

I never thought about that. or believe it. Think about that again. By the way: My school still hands out book orders- some of the books were merely Zac Efron sticker books for brainwashed brats who hate reading actual novels- I never heard truer words. I meant by Lemony being Olaf...that. Reason for Editing: Moderator Edit: Merging double-posts.

All three are only minor parts of TBL - sideshows to the main event, if you like. But that's how all the books are, aren't they? Half the little bits on the back (where they list what will occur in the book) are nonsensical and only small bits of the book itself (TBB mentions cold porridge, TRR goes further with the car accident and the brass reading lamp, TWW lists cold cucumber soup, a signaling device, and Pretty Penny... and so on.) As the books get more and more secretive, the backs get less and less descriptive. So TBL, which is entirely mysterious, barely shows any real description for what the book actually holds.
