Some sad insight into evil.
The man who had his silver spoon stolen from him observed that the rich man who took it probably didn't want the spoon itself, but just wanted to see him eat his canned peaches with his hands.
Trumpdy Dumpty.

Though not as much fun as "Reports 1-6", I still enjoyed the word play and asides. Perhaps Lemony Snicket is best taken in small doses.

These seven reports are short substories that Lemony encounters during him time in Stain'd-by-the-Sea. They're all "suspicious incidents" that I find myself enjoying trying to figure out without reading the conclusions. I found this to be more inane (a word in this case, which means "ridiculous and boring") than the first six are.
- "Violent Butcher" is about a man named Mack who looks for his son Drumstick so that he can hit the boy.
- "Twelve or Thirteen" is a good one about how Moxie's mom once wrote about a race with 12 people but there are 13 people in a picture. So the two determine who a felon is.
- "Midnight Demon" is about a girl named Tatiana who doesn't want to marry the man her mother set up for her. And this man claims a demon has taken over Tatiana.
- "Three Suspects" is a stupid short about a man who stole pies. Though it is interesting that the cops enlist Lemony's help.
- "Vanished Message" regards a letter Lemony receives begging his help to find a postcard, but not read it. The message in that postcard is VERY intriguing, and I think links to the last short.
- "Troublesome Ghost" is about a woman who feels forced out of her home because of the ghost of her dead husband."
- "Figure in Fog" is insanely curious. Lemony follows a strange figure in the fog (making him a strange person as well). He hears a sound, a person calling a single word. And then...it ends.
Curious.

Lemony has to solve some more mysteries, although the last one isn't solved.

I read this one in the proper order of the books and I have a far greater appreciation for it! I loved meeting new characters and Handler’s skill for recapping details without it feeling ad nauseum. Would definitely recommend this in between books 2 and 3! (The version I borrowed through Libby had some troubles with the links (only in this one), so keep that in mind and don’t accidentally read the wrong conclusion!)

Me gustaron más los primeros casos, porque se sentían más ajenos a la historia central, en cambio estos parecen apresurados y con menos coherencia para que se puedan apegar más a la historia central. Igual es entretenido.

A series of odd but typical for Lemony Snickett, short mysteries. It lets you attempt to solve them and then the answers are provided at the end of the book. If you do get them right, then I would start to worry that you are thinking like Snickett. 🤪💛

Once again, these were fun short mysteries and I enjoyed spending time reading and solving them. They’re very short and unnecessary if you’re reading the series, but a good use of time.

GOD I love this series

This e-book contains the other half (or rather 7/13 of the suspicious incindent files)
Suprisingly, I really liked this book (I liked it in the way the conclusions are separated from the cases, so you could also think - who, where, when and how the crime happened). I enjoyed it better than the other books in the series, maybe because the others books I've been reading is not that exciting or great. But the last (13) file is just a bonus one to connect the other files to the major files.

“I don’t know why anyone likes sledding in the first place,” I said. “Life goes downhill enough without speeding the process along. Was there a referee, perhaps?”
The above excerpt from the book are just one of the little snippets, a word which here means small pieces, that makes me love Mr. Snicket's writing.

The case titled “Thirteen or Twelve” has plot that could be a real life crime.
“It’s an important skill to know when not to say anything. It’s not a skill that came naturally to me then, nor does it come naturally now, nor do I expect it to come naturally to me until I am dead, when I will be very, very good at it.”
- this one’s relatable to me

I like the book, it had an interesting lot of mini plots with humorous characters. The book as a whole was captivatingly written, as expected by Lemony Snicket; once I picked it up I could not put it down.
Definitely an enjoyable read.

Amazing
I loved this book. Although I loved I wish it was longer because this is a really short book that took me only 1.5 hours to read. I think the this short book isn't worth $4 because I finished the book fast.

Same as the last one: kind of a low-rent Encyclopedia Brown. Maybe the stories make more sense from the little things someone who's read the books several times would catch? But right now it's just a fun diversion for my son and I before moving on to the next one.

I feel like these stories were more... obtuse than the other books. although that may have been the point. it loses that encyclopedia brown feel as well as solvability.

HRV: Napokon sam odlučila napraviti maleno udubljenje u pogledu knjiga Lemonyja Snicketa koje su mi ostale za pročitati. Ove su bile kratke i zabavne pričice za ugodno popodne.
ENG: I finally decided to make a dent in the list of Lemony Snicket books I still have left to read. These were short and fun stories for a lovely afternoon read.
