Odd, but good submitted by emjane on July 1, 2015, 5:41pm A book I wasn't entirely sure I liked much of the way through reading it, We are Pirates kept me turning pages because of Daniel Handler's unique style. With his quirky tone, and his spot-on descriptors, it was worth reading for the act of reading, not as much for the plot.
