This book proves that the mania for the Lemony Snickett/"Mysterious Benedict Society" genre hasn't died. Filled with semi-humorous winks and advice to the reader, a plot that is semi-suspenseful and all too coincidence-filled and characters that have just enough quirks to make them enjoyable for the target reader, A Whole Nother Story is clearly keeping the world of unfortunate events alive. As is often the case with this genre, however, adults will find that their amusement quickly fades.
