His family has roots in a part of the country which is now underwater, and his childhood was spent in the relative splendor of the Snicket Villa which has since become a factory, a fortress and a pharmacy and is now, alas, someone else's villa.To the untrained eye, Mr. Snicket's hometown would not appear to be filled with secrets. Untrained eyes have been wrong before. The aftermath of the scandal was swift, brutal and inaccurately reported in the periodicals of the day. It is true, however, that Mr. Snicket was stripped of several awards by the reigning authorities, including Honorable Mention, the Grey Ribbon and First Runner Up. The High Council reached a convenient if questionable verdict and Mr. Snicket found himself in exile.Though his formal training was chiefly in rhetorical analysis, he has spent the last several eras researching the travails of the Baudelaire orphans. This project, being published serially by HarperCollins, takes him to the scenes of numerous crimes, often during the off-season. Eternally pursued and insatiably inquisitive, a hermit and a nomad, Mr. Snicket wishes you nothing but the best.

I loved A Series of Unfortunate Events when I was a kid and I love the movie, when I saw this Behind the Scenes book I knew I had to get it. If anything I figured this book would at least be entertaining. It was definitely entertaining and this story had me laughing out loud. I love that it was two stories in one, the behind the scenes and then Count Olaf's behind the scenes haha. I think this would be an enjoyable read for anyone who is a fan of the series or the movie.

This is awesome if you've seen the movie or not (I read it before I saw the movie) However there is one scene it shows that does not appear in the movie.

why do these movie companion books use the worst fonts on colored backgrounds so it's impossible to read
