Ya... you WOULD like this guy, Brett

And the award for my favorite author goes to… Lemony Snicket?! You mean that guy who wrote The Series of Unfortunate Events? Yes, that guy. Aren’t you a little too old to like him? Maybe, but that guy really turns me on… literarily speaking. Almost everybody my age has read one of his books or at least seen the movie! He has a great narrator voice, and he has an uncanny way of describing his characters. I can actually understand what’s going on, and he gets to the point instead of dancing and flopping around. I enjoyed his view that the main characters don’t always win and don’t have to succeed in the end. Count Olaf and his troupe are pretty sinister, and like I like how he names them based on their distinguishing characteristic instead of giving them a common old name. And if he uses a word that most likely an eleven year old wouldn’t know, he spends the next paragraph explaining what it means and using a real-world example. I will NEVER stop loving real-world examples, and I think that’s what our classes need. (Pre-Cal and Physics I mean.) If you’ve never read a book by Lemony Snicket pick one up and enjoy a quick, easy read! But you don’t have to take my word for it…
