The Beatrice Letters, just like all the A Series of Unfortunate Events and Lemony Snicket: The Unauthorized Biography books, is shrouded in mystery and honestly, you don't get any answers. First of all, I have to say that I absolutely love the design of this book. I've never seen anything like this. It's safe to say I won't be getting rid of my copy anytime soon.
The Beatrice Letters is sort of like a dossier containing letters to and from Beatrice Baudelaire and Lemony Snicket. When I got this book I thought I'd finally be learning a little more about Beatrice. Think again. We actually get no information on who she is. Beatrice is still a mystery to me. Every single A Series of Unfortunate Events book is dedicated, in some way, to Beatrice. Some of my favorite dedications:
Book 2: "For Beatrice - My love for you shall live forever. You, however, did not."
Book 5: "For Beatrice - You will always be in my heart, in my mind, and in your grave."
Book 7: "For Beatrice - When we were together I felt breathless. Now you are."
Book 8: "For Beatrice - Summer without you is as cold as winter. Winter without you is even colder."
Book 9: "For Beatrice - Our love broke my heart, and stopped yours.
Book 13: "For Beatrice - I cherished, you perished, The world's been nightmarished.
Despite the fact I didn't really get any answers as to who Beatrice really is, I did love reading The Beatrice Letters. My favorite part of this book, apart from the design, was Lemony Snicket's letter to Beatrice, proclaiming his love for her. It was funny, sweet, and heartbreaking. I believe I've come to the end of my journey with the Baudelaire's. Unless of course Lemony Snicket decides to continue chronicling their lives. Until then The Beatrice Letters was the end for me.
