In the 9th book, there are two pages of the page that starts chapter 5. well just in my book its pretty werid. i was just wondering is that in other ppls books? or is it just a misprint?

It's a joke on the subject matter of those two pages. Snicket explains that deja vu is when the same thing appears to be happening to you twice, and then the book presents that page to you twice to create a sensation of deja vu.

Oh, yeah that made me laugh. If you look carefully the second page is different at the bottom.

You shouldn't! Easy mistake to make if you're tired or something... remember we have read the books in massive detail, it's a common mistake that people make.

wow. no, its just showing deja vu like in the first book where it said something like sometimes he felt like he was reading the same sentence over and over like, what, 3 times.

I love it when Lemony Snicket does things like this. Like, later on that book he says he had been typing for so long anda was so tired he couldnĀ“t even spells words. And then he mispells the word "word".

My book is the same too.Snicket knows that tricks like that one are really good and he uses them in the right places!

Tricks like this are really part of the appeal of the books - seeing what kind of metatextual weirdness will come next. Pseudonymous Bosch does the same thing, but he really dials it up; with Snicket it's not quite so obtrusive, which is how you can have people asking if it's a mistake or not.
