So You Think You Know Lemony Snicket? Yes I do. It's apparently another unofficial guide to Mr. Snicket and his books, like that weird "Eyeballs Leeches Hypnotism And Orphans" thing. Another guide to cash in on the success of the film and give people an excuse not to actually read the books, I'm afraid. Soon we may see more of these, perhaps as many as unofficial Harry Potter guides.

Ugh. Those things disgust me.
They think they'll shut the series out of business. Well, they're wrong! *Glare*

The author, Clive Gifford, has also written several other books beginning with "So You Think You Know....", early-reader storybooks, and books for elementary school children. There aren't any reviews for his guidebooks, and therefore I have no idea how good this one will be.

As I said (regarding the otehr guidebook), itll be one of those "easy way out" things taht wont be very good or too informative, but soem will think so. Sad. Itll be bad, Im sure. Guidebooks usually suck a lot of things I prefer not to mention on a lemony snicket forum.

I might buy it, if only for the sake of warning everyone else if it's really bad. Maybe it'll be good for a laugh if it's really incompetent.

No way in hell Id buy something thats totally useless to me (unless its a boardgame or an 8 ball etc., he he). Not even for laughs. It actually annoys me to know that people are going to walk around like they know everythign about Lemony Snicket when in reality, they know almost nothing useful.
example:
Hey, Andrew (OlafsAssociate), did you read THE WIDE WINDOW? It was so cool! Oh, and I dont want to spoil the ending for you, but Aunt Josephine dies!!!
Or:
I think I know what VFD means! Very Fancy Doilies! (and trust me, Ive had the misfortune of meeting people like this who claim that one of the false meanings of VFD is the real thing)
Get my point?
