The moral of this story, if you are interested, is that there are bitter truths you can’t avoid in this world, whether you are wondering about home, family, school, work, entertainment, literature, travel, emotional, health, affairs of the heart, a life of mystery, the mystery of life, an overall feeling of doom that one cannot ever escape no matter what one does, and miscellaneous things that I have neglected to mention in specific. For your convenience, some of these bitter truths have been placed into somewhat handy book, and arranged into thirteen chapters so that any time you are wondering about something, you can open the book and read a bitter truth or two, rather than go to the trouble of trying to find a wise man, particularly in your neighborhood where so few of them live.
Pernah bertanya-tanya kenapa hidup menjadi seperti ini? Atau bahwa hidup seharusnya lebih dari sekedar mengerjakan tugas sekolah, kerja, urusan keluarga, dan cinta-cintaan? Jujur, saya sih sering, hehe. Namun, sering kali pertanyaaan-pertanyaan seperti itu ga perlu dipikirkan terlalu jauh, because, well, we can’t find a wise man to answer those questions. Sometimes you just have to face the bitter truths.
Buku ini terbagi atas 13 bab, mulai dari Home, Family, School, Work, dan seterusnya. Di tiap bab Lemony Snicket menyodorkan kenyataan hidup yang bisa dibilang pahit, tapi penuh humor kering.
Perhaps if we saw what was ahead of us, and glimpsed the crimes, follies, and misfortunes that would befall on us later on, we would all stay in our mother’s wombs, and then there would be nobody in the world but a great number of very fat, very irritated women.

Brilliant. I fell in love with this book instantly. Meskipun memang bisa ditamatkan dalam sekejap saja, rasanya buku ini bisa dibaca berulang-ulang dan ga akan membuat bosan.
