Finally, here is the definitive - and only - book for anyone interested in learning more about the alarmingly elusive author.
  PlumfieldCH | Sep 22, 2023 |
This was kind of confusing - if only because I couldn't quite read all the text. Did it answer my questions?

Yes and no. The Unauthorized Autobiography details some of Lemony Snicket's history and the history of the V.F.D. if not what it actually stands for. But a lot of the text is in code or blurred out or destroyed so I don't have anywhere near as many answers as I'd like.

Basically the V.F.D. is a volunteer organisation of some description made up of children mainly from the sounds of it - kidnapped children who are stolen by their ankles which is why they are tattooed on their ankles. These members are taught to disguise themselves and infiltrate places. Count Olaf is/was a member as is Esme. Hector may or may not be - there is a reference to a H that wants to build a self sustaining mobile home so possibly. But one of their members is betraying them and this led to them taking sides? I think that was the gist anyway. I'm not entirely sure who they're being betrayed to but it's a secret organisation so I'm sure they have plenty of enemies.

There's also lots of references to things that have happened behind the scenes. For instance, Mr Poe (Arthur) never responded to the Baudelaire's telegram because his sister, Eleanora Poe recently sent an article from the Daily Punctilio about the dangers of telegrams being sent to the bank. So he ordered that all telegrams be ignored. In addition to the Baudelaire's telegram, he also ignores one from Eleanora claiming to be imprisoned in a basement and that she suspects the articles in the paper might be wrong. Gasp. Who would've thought?

In terms of the story, the companion novel has a few clues that contribute but the difficulty in deciphering the text makes it kind of annoying. 2 stars. ( )

Any fan of the Series of Unfortunate Events should check this out! It gives a sneak peek into the mysterious, enigmatic 'author' and chronicler of the Baudelaire orphans. It has the same style of writing as the OG series and gives some background information on some of the characters and events in the books themselves.
For those that don't know: Lemony Snicket is a fictional character/self insert pen name handle of the actual author (Daniel Handler) of the Series of Unfortunate Events. His writing style is very immersive and allows one to easily follow along the journey as if they were a character themselves. Handler's writing was my first exposure to this kind of immersion in middle school. This book may confuse some (younger) people that don't know that Lemony Snicket is merely a character and not the actual author. I would even go as far as to say this book *might* be considered an art book given the odd makeup of this book as it almost feels like an art collage in a way. ( )

Very cleaver fake autobiography of Lemony Snicket with a cleaver Introduction by Daniel Handler. Very fun read with various fonts, styles, photographs. It is very clear why this is a companion to The Series of Unfortunate Events. ( )

An unnecessary companion to A Series of Unfortunate Events. Daniel Handler (Snicket's real name) drags the joke on too long. ( )

The Unauthorized Autobiography is a most curious work. The strangeness begins at first encounter, with the binding: the hardback cover encloses the volume on its four high sides, vertically divided down the centre of the front cover for opening. The back cover reproduces Lemony Snicket’s obituary as printed in The Daily Punctilio, a yellow ‘post-it’ superimposed at the foot, with the handwritten message:
‘This obituary is filled with errors – most importantly – I AM NOT DEAD! – LS’.
The text runs to xxii + 212 pages, with a six-page index.

"Snicket makes complicated arrangements for the delivery of the manuscript of the next book to his publisher, on the Lemony Snicket website and in Snicket's Unauthorized Autobiography. To further amuse readers, the U.S. hardcover edition of this book has a reversible dust jacket that can be "disguised" as The Luckiest Kids in the World Book 1: The Pony Party! by "Loney M. Setnick," which is an anagram of "Lemony Snicket".
