Book Review on “File Under: 13 Suspicious Incidents” by Lemony Snicket

The book I’m recommending is called File Under: 13 Suspicious Incidents, by Lemony Snicket. It’s a funny book about some experiences the author is pretending to have had when he was a child. There are short mystery stories that you could solve along with the main character, who is Lemony himself. However, the mysteries are rather easy to solve and do not require much thinking. They do have quite interesting and logical reasons for the solutions, though. It isn’t a problem/solution story, more a collection of short stories about his stay in the rather problematic Stain’d-by-the-Sea. He was sent there with his mentor to solve a big mystery that a secret organization that he was part of was trying to solve but ended up studying some smaller mysteries.

I think that in these stories, the author is trying to tell me that there are people everywhere that you can help, you just have to look for them. The stories have deep meanings to them but also include humor.

My favorite story was when the minor miner told Lemony about how her paintings were falling too neatly whenever she was down in the mines. I liked that story because I felt like it was the funniest story. If you want to know the stories’ ending, you’ll have to read it yourself. 

I strongly recommend reading “File Under: 13 Suspicious Incidents” by Lemony Snicket. It was one of my favorite books and will probably become yours, too. Thank you for reading my blog post!
