5.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful and long overdue, Mar 11 2006

I do not know how Amazon marketed this book, but my notifcation email from the publisher, HarperCollins, clearly stated that this was a blank journal. It sounds like some people are disappointed with Amazon, but that should not cause them to give this wonderful journal just one star.
This hardback journal has lined pages and is full of original illustrations and also some of the wittiest quotes from the books. The whole mood of the journal fits so well with the books that it is a must have for any Lemony Snicket fan who needs a new commonplace book. It is beautifully done and something that was long overdue.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Nice commonplace book, Mar 13 2006
By Ms. Barnes - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Series Of Unfortunate Events: The Notorious Notations (Hardcover)
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.

The Notorious Notations, Sep 25 2006

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.
