Before you throw this awful book to the
ground and run as far away from it as
possible, you should probably know why.
This book is the only one which describes
every last detail of the Baudelaire
children's miserable stay at Heimlich
Hospital, which makes it one of the most
dreadful books in the world.
There are many pleasant things to read
about, but this book contains none of
them. Within its pages are such burdensome
details as misleading newspaper headlines,
unnecessary surgery, an intercom system,
anesthesia, heart-shaped balloons, and
some very startling news about such
things.
I have sworn to research this story,
and to write it down as best I can, so I
should know that this book is something
best left on the ground, where you
undoubtedly found it.
with all due respect,
