I liked it. It is "a story about a lump of coal who can think, talk, and move itself around. Is there a more charming holiday tale to be told? Probably, but Lemony Snicket has not written one." It's just a short little children's book, but it's cute, and has Lemony Snicket's sense of humor. And now, in my next post, I shall spoil the ending for you.

Book Review: "The Lump of Coal," by Lemony Snicket

"I shall spoil the ending for you" sounds very snickety. ...but you tricked me (us?)! :P
how did i trick you?
I thought you meant a real lump of coal, not a book! :P
oh, my mother would never let santa do that. it would get the stocking dirty.
One year I got my brother a lump of coal that came in a tin. :D
Some of us read your blog from the top down, so the spoiler came before the "I shall spoil the ending for you."
i've told you not to read blogs that way. and even if you had, the title of that post is 'spoiler alert...'
I didn't think it was too bad of a spoiler. Then again, I haven't read the book. The spoiler that my friend's husband gave the other day, however, was a big spoiler and very annoying of him!
I usually read from the bottom up on blogs, but not all the time. I did this time, but I still read the spoiler. :)
Yes, I saw the words "spoiler alert". It wasn't really a spoiler though. Not like revealing what happens on "Lost"
