Synopsis

Washington Post Bestseller

A stand-alone adventure—appropriate for all ages—by Lemony Snicket, one of the twenty-first century’s most beloved authors.

In the years since this publishing house was founded, we have worked with an array of wondrous authors who have brought illuminating clarity to our bewildering world. Now, instead, we bring you Lemony Snicket.

Over the course of his long and suspicious career, Mr. Snicket has investigated many things, including villainy, treachery, conspiracy, ennui, and various suspicious fires. In this book, he is investigating his own death.

Poison for Breakfast is a different sort of book than others we have published, and from others you may have read. It is different from other books Mr. Snicket has written. It could be said to be a book of philosophy, something almost no
one likes, but it is also a mystery, and many people claim to like those. Certainly Mr. Snicket didn’t relish the dreadful task of solving it, but he had no choice. It was put in front of him, right there, on his plate.

About Lemony Snicket

Lemony Snicket had an unusual education, which may or may not explain his ability to evade capture. He is the author of the 13 volumes in A Series of Unfortunate Events, several picture books including The Dark, and the books collectively titled All The Wrong Questions.

This book is written by a bibliophile that's for sure. The references are so nerdy and reader-world-like. And I liked it! "All good writing is like this. It's why a favorite book feels like an old friend and a new acquaintance at the same time, amd the reason a favorite author can be a familiar figure......more

There's nothing greater than Snicket's sass and sarcasm. It always makes for a solid good time. I didn't find myself caring so much for what was going on in the plot, but there were a lot of interesting discussions brought up surrounding death, philosophy, bewilderment.. just to name a few.......more

I'm not sure what I was expecting this book to be but to be bewildered is definitely not the plan. Having Poison for Breakfast is the note Snicket came to encounter, which was an unfortunate event of his own as he finished his morning meal. And now, he had to discover where the poison is originated......more
