I like the symbolism of good and evil in reference to the python and the apple in an ironic way. I also like how Lemony S. was faithful in including Beatrice till the end.

I stop reading in the middle of chapter three. I guess I got tired of getting to resolution part of the story. After a week of just looking at the book on my desk staring back at me, I went back to reading it. As soon as I got to chapter four, I couldn’t put it down. I could kick myself for not continuing on when I was on chapter three. Anyway, to me this book is about moral corruption. Can good, decent people be corrupted morally?

My favorite “anybody-can-relate-to-this” part:
When someone has disappointed you, it is often difficult to decide whether to continue their acquaintance, even if the disappointers have done noble things in the meantime. (Chapter Eight)

My favorite “anybody-can-relate-to-this” part:

Grief, a type of sadness that most often occurs when you have lost someone you love, is a sneaky thing, because it can disappear for a long time, and then pop back up when you least expect it. (Chapter Five)

The curious thing about being told to sleep on it is that you usually can’t. (Chapter Nine) 21 months ago

Mr. Poe… Nevermore Tree… crows… => The Raven

I think it’s clever since The Raven talks about a man mourning over the loss of his lover in which Lemony Snicket is always talking about his loss…Beatrice. 22 months ago
