There is nothing remotely ominous or unusual about the Swinster Pharmacy, but a girl, a boy, and their dog find it intensely suspicious. The tone of the illustrations, with lots of dark gray, does make the place seem a little dark, but it's entirely in the kids' heads. More baffling than funny, really; not my favorite Lemony Snicket. "It tells the story of a little girl, a little boy, and their little dog, who grow intensely fascinated with the mysterious Swinster Pharmacy of the neighboring town and begin pondering what it might sell. Beneath it is a lovely allegory about the capacity of children’s imaginations to see enigmatic wonder in even the simplest things and find multiple meanings in the most mundane." -- http://www.brainpickings.org/2014/11/18/best-childrens-books-2014/ sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

11. When the town aches, the Swinster Pharmacy aches with it.
12. In all of our dreams, the Pharmacy squats in the middle of the block like something blue and hungry. In the morning it is on the corner.
14. Your lies bounce off its windows like spinning discarded tops.
Essentially, this is a cleverly presented illustration of how imagination can turn even the most mundane thing into something mysterious and nefarious.
Well done Mr Snicket. Well done. ( )
