Poison for Breakfast

Written by Lemony Snicket

Narrated by Patrick Warburton

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.

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.

Reviews for Poison for Breakfast

[Shelby Wells · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

This is my first Lemony Snicket I've read in about 15 years. At first, I really enjoyed the stream-of-consciousness writing style, but it did get a little tedious, which here means tiresome. I did like some of the philosophical discussions though.

Patrick Warburton was A+ casting for the narrator. I like to imagine this book was basically Kronk's inner monologue

True to Lemony Snickets fashion, this book is hilariously odd! I enjoyed every word of it and the narrator did a fantastic job of reading it!

Delightful deluge of words and images! This is the second of his books that I’ve read but it won’t be the last!

A brilliant babble for the bibliophile!
Reels you in with the most senseless mysteries wrapped by Mr. Snicket himself…

Not one of my favourites of his, but I just love the way Lemony Snicket writes!

I loved this book. It was engaging, original and one I could not put down. I adored it cover to cover. It is a must read for a book that makes you think and stays with you after you close it!
