What a unique name - Lemony
glitter burns
the sky is falling
I've never read a "Lemony Snicket" book, but that's actually a pen name of Daniel Handler, who wrote the amazing "Basic Eight".
I didn't have much interest in the books until I found that out, but given his brilliance I am now considering borrowing the Lemony Snicket books off my sister.

For those of you who have only seen the movie and read the first three books in A Series of Unfortunate Events, I suggest you continue reading. The series has a major twist that was only hinted at in the movie, around Book the Sixth.
I am serious. The movie was the most incredible adaptation ever, a much more highbrow book to movie translation than others of the recent years. If you haven't read all eleven of the released books in the series, you are missing out on so very much.
The final two books in the series Book the Twelfth will be out October 2005 and the final, Book the Thirteenth will be released in October 2006, I suppose.
Convincing people of this is hard. Which is why I shall leave this post here and hope to god you do race down to Angus and Robertson and purchase books four to eleven and indulge in Lemony Snicket nee Daniel Handler's sophisticated, witty and intellectual offerings.
