Discusses some philosophical ideas with some dark humor. The narrator's voice is very very soothing though and I got a comfortable nap. Maybe not a good candidate listen if you are driving.

Interesting, soothing voice

only 14 chapters yet I struggled to finish this book. I'm not the biggest on stories that are tangential and kinda irrelevant to the main story line.

Meh

I’m not normally big on philosophy books because the author’s tone can come across as condescending or forcibly introspective, but this is the exception! The thought process feels very natural and Warburton captures that Snicket narration style beautifully.

Cannot recommend this enough!!

I've always loved Lemony Snicket's writing. This was so much fun but also so thought provoking. Somehow I don't feel this is a children's book.

I loved every minute of the book.

This entire book is my brain - everyday. I’ll be forever grateful for this author sharing his own thoughts - very clever … very profound … all around … perfect.

Wow.Wow.Wow.

So bewildering, & such a romp.
I couldn’t have liked it more!

A magical book

The book seems like and rambling collection of thoughts rather than a story.
it is not personally my style of book, but if you like interesting random thoughts it might be for you.

This is a book, but a rambling one.
