Daniel Handler je známy svojím hravým a ironickým štýlom, ktorý často skúma temnejšie stránky ľudskej povahy a zložitosť medziľudských vzťahov. Jeho próza je plná šikovných slovných hračiek a nevšedných metafor, čo čitateľom prináša jedinečný a provokatívny literárny zážitok. Handler sa nebojí vrhať svetlo na nepohodlné témy a jeho diela často odrážajú cynický pohľad na svet, ktorý je však vyvážený nečakanými momentmi vhľadu a ľudskosti. Jeho schopnosť miešať humor s vážnosťou z neho robí autora, ktorý dokáže osloviť široké spektrum čitateľov hľadajúcich inteligentnú a podnetnú literatúru.

Lemony Sniket prohlásil, že tato kniha je velmi nebezpečná. „Kdyby vás s tímto podezřelým rukopisem spatřili nesprávní lidé, mohlo by to pro vás mít nedozírné následky. Proto je kniha z bezpečnostních důvodů opatřena oboustrannou obálkou. Co nejrychleji ji tedy přebalte. Tato kamufláž totiž může být vaší jedinou nadějí“.
