The Notorious Notations

By Lemony Snicket and Adriana Herrera

Dear Reader, Like most fugitives who have vowed to investigate the lives of the Baudelaire orphans, I have always found a book to be invaluable in my research. The book you hold in your hands can be thrown into the mouth of a charging rhinoceros, placed underneath the leg of a wobbly table, or used to write down any number of valuable observations, such as the following: - My sister is driving me stark raving mad. - That waiter appears to be an associate of a notorious villain.and/or - My pen is running out of i Almost every page in this book includes shocking illustrations and unsettling quotations from A Series of Unfortunate Events. In their company, even the most harmless notations will become notorious, a word which here means "commonly and sadly perceived to be of shadowy and somewhat sinister importance, such as my own work on the Baudelaire case, from which you should distance yourself immediately and permanently." With all due respect, Lemony Snicket

Customer Reviews

Literally a hardcover notebook with quotations from the series, not a continuation there of.

If I hadn’t purchased this with my free book credit, or paid full price I would be a lot more disappointed. My niece can use it as a journal in future, otherwise it’s bloody useless.

Exactly What We Expectedd - Great Item!

This was an awesome find for Christmas. My stepdaughter is a big fan of the Series of Unfortuante Events and is an avid journaler. This book is great with it's quotes from the books at the bottom (or top?) of each page. She loves it.

The Notorious Notations

As a big Lemony Snicket fan, being thirteen, my opinion may not matter much to anyone who reads it. However, I, like Klaus Baudelaire, have read many a more books than the average man reads in a lifetime. Having the reading comprehension of an adult, I say the book was utterly Snicket, a phrase here whitch means "Nothing less than expected of this wonderful, and slightly misunderstood, author." So I shame those who have given him merely two stars!! I have, like Mr.Snicket and the Baudelaires, have done a great deal of research on him, and some do not like his books, while others find it perfect for their taste. I am one of these people, who love a good mystery WITHIN the story, not a mystery itself. So for those who dislike Mr. Snicket, go read Pride and Prejudice, and leave this book alone.

A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Notorious Notations (A Series of Unfortunate Events)

Very interesting book. A great place to write your own story.

Nice commonplace book

This is a very nice commonplace book for the fans of A Series of Unfortunate events. Nicely bound, and quotes from the books are scattered throughout the pages. I am not sure why everyone else is so upset about this book. It is fairly obvious it is not a new book. The title doesn't match new books, the price isn't the same, it came out only 6 months after the most recent edition (book 12), and in the listing I see, it says, "(Journal)". The cover doesn't even look like the cover of one of the books in the series. Must-have for the Baudelaire fan who wishes to keep his or her own journal.
