I am removing this section, along with quite a bit of other original research. Unless this is mentioned by Lemony Snicket/Daniel Handler in an interview or other statement, I am saying this original research. Clamster5 23:10, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
An editor thinks that the book should be described at Book the thirteenth and book the last. I like the way Snicket numbers his books, but in Wikipedia we use standard English syntax. These articles are not onl for fans of the books, so we must use language appropriate to curious outsiders. Ronstew 22:02, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
But do you really think that anyone who doesn't know that it comes from the author will be confused by it? -- Chitomcgee 03:13, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Just out of curiosity (and I'm not trying to be condescending or anything either), where does it say that we have to use standard English syntax? Isn't Wikipedia, in a sense, a Snicket-pedia? It's the -pedia for anything, because it's the -pedia for everything. I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with the current title headings (the first book, the second book, etc.), all I'm saying that it would raise the curiousity level of this particular article, the series as a whole, and Wikipedia as a whole. A curious outsider would come across the page, see "book the thirteenth," and think, "That's a interesting way to write it, and it sure caught my attention. I think I'll read some more," which they would then do. Then, they'd think, "Wow, that article was interesting! I'll read a few different articles," but before they'd do that, they'd purchase The End from amazon.com. Now, I understand how extremely far-fetched that scenario was, but since putting "book the thirteenth," at least in my opinion, isn't hurting anything, why not leave it and have the afore mentioned scenario be a possibilty? -- Chitomcgee 04:49, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

if you look on the side view of the book there are 13 points - like this ^^^^^^^-- 58.105.170.27 04:21, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
The 'summary' is ridiculously long. I've started to just scrap off some sentences, so it might end up a bit mangled. Get your healing kits out and be on the ready to use them. Mrmoocow 08:50, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
I agree, and the structure of each book summary changes between wikipedia pages. it makes it difficult to read them all through at once. I intend to go through and polish each summary as well as make them more cohesive as a group. [[User:Aearlim|Aearlim] 13:55, ( Aearlim ( talk) 21:56, 26 February 2017 (UTC))
Ummmmmmm... I cant figure out how to start my own catagory so i hope you don't mind if i post onto yours until i figure it out... Soo Here i go
Why did Lemony Snicket Call It Just The End? why not the enormous end or the enliphting end or the enourmus end like the other book??~htes
He called it The End because it's the end there's no more. I didn't even think that the last one was that good anyway. HarryFan101 16:06, 18 March 2007 (UTC)HarryFan101
i thought the apples ("...the heroine of a book much more suitable to read that this one [who] spends an entire afternoon eating the first bite of a bushel of apples." This is a reference to the character Ramona Quimby in the book Beezus and Ramona by Beverly Cleary. The scene in question has Ramona taking one bite out of each apple before putting them back because to her the first bite tastes best.) came from Anne of Green Gables, i can't remember, can someone check?

The article said (I've removed it) that the question-mark-shaped object being called "The Great Unknown" was a euphemism for what comes after death. Original research, and I have to say I don't agree anyway. But perhaps all that was meant is that the phrase "The Great Unknown" is (in general, in other contexts) used as a euphemism for what comes after death. If so, it could perhaps be re-inserted, but the sentence would need to be written more clearly. 91.105.17.144 ( talk) 01:58, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Is Ishmael's constant request for everyone else to "Call [him] Ish" a reference to the first line in Herman Melville's Moby Dick "Call me Ishmael"?
