It's one joke ("Dear reader, this book is not a happy story, maybe you better not read it") repeated many, many times. After a while it gets uninteresting--I quit reading them when he was done after book five. "Lemony Snicket" is of course a pseudonym, and comes with a faked history for the fake author. -John ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
