Summary: Rescuing Sunny -- A review by Colton, Age 9
Review: Where the last book in the Series of Unfortunate Events (The Carnivorous Carnival) left off Violet and Klaus were hurtling down a mountain in a caravan while their baby sister Sunny was in Count Olaf's clutches. Violet and Klaus manage to stop the caravan and start to walk up the mountain, where they encounter snow gnats and the Snow Scouts. They meet up with Quigly Quagmire, who was thought to be dead, and find the V.F.D. that has been burnt to a crisp by a raging fire. There Quigly, Violet, and Klaus start planning how to save their sister.This book, like the others in this series, is one that adventure lovers will treasure, because Violet, Klaus, and Sunny have many adventures, including hiking on a mountain, crawling through a rocky passageway, and climbing up a frozen waterfall. I do not recommend it to people who love books with happy endings and people who love books where the villain is defeated. In this book, unlike the others in this series, Klaus and Violet almost become villains themselves to save their sister, but stop just in time. Lemony Snicket's suspenseful novel will have readers hooked even after it ends, and they will be waiting anxiously for the next book to see what happens to Violet, Klaus, and Sunny.

Summary: Lemony Snicket does it again
Review: I read all of the last 9 books in A Series of Unfortunate Events and really enjoyed them.
If you have read the last 9 books too you would know that the last book ends when Count Olaf(bad guy)steals Sunny,the youngest Baudelaire and is escaping in his car while Violet,the oldest and Kluase,the middle,are hurtling twords the edge of a cliff in an abandoned caravan and are about to meet their doom.If you want to find out how Violet and Klause stop the caravan from going off the cliff,find out the mystery of V.F.D,read about how the Baudelaires get reunited with their little sister,Sunny and find out who the mysterious sweatered scout is then read The Slippery Slope By Lemony Snicket and Illistrated by Brett Hellquist.
Snicket is very funny at times,he doesn't want you to read his books because bad theings happen to children.(still read them,they're great)Sometimes in the book he tells you to put the book down or to skip ahead to the next chapter.The other thing I like about Snicket is that when he puts a word that kids usually do not know or a saying he explains it to you unlike other authers.
I recomend that you read all of the other Lemony Snicket books before you even think about reading this one.

Summary: A 5-star book that actually deserves it!
Review: In Lemony Snicket's The Slippery Slope, the reader is introduced to many new and exciting characters including a suprising survior of a fire, new members of Count Olaf's troupe, and of course, new meaning(s) to the V.F.D. mystery. I thouroughy enjoyed this addition to the Series of Unfortuante Events series, which in my opinion, this one is my second favorite, behind The Reptile Room. The plot in this novel seemed new and refreshing which was DESPERATELY needed. All in all, everything in this book will have the reader turning the pages, not wanting to put it down, which is what I did, finishing it in two days. I can't wait for book the eleventh, which I'm ALMOST positive will be called THE GRIM GROTTO. Happy Reading!!

Summary: FINALLY!
Review: I am a great fan of Lemony Snicket - and his Unfortunate Series. As a result, I expect a lot of his books. His books all are excellent but it reveals only a little at a time. This book includes a very nasty person who returns from book 5, two characters that are so evil that their names are not revealed, and a very tiring Pledge. Also there is a SURVIVOR of the fire. I was so surprised.
Anyway, a lot of VFDs appear in the book. The next book's title is not revealed in the author's letter. And many unexpected things happen; well, just read the book!
It deserves five stars, but well, Violet's inventing skills and Klaus's researching skills were used over and over again. I expect a change; although there was one in Sunny. A MUST read.

Summary: The Slippery Slope Book Review
Review: The Slippery Slope (A Series Of Unfortunate Events book 10)
By: Snicket, Lemony
Reviewed by: J.Lee
Period: 1
This book is about a sister and her brother who tries to save their younger sister from Count Olaf, a villain. Sunny, their younger sister, secretly spies on Count Olaf and his followers, while she is with him, to see what their up to. When Violet and Klaus find out where the villains are taking their sister, they have to make a plan to stop them. They find out that they are heading up the Mortmain Mountains to burn down the secret V.F.D. hideout. On the way to the V.F.D hideout, they encounter Quigley Quagmire, who is the "lost" brother of the Quagmire triplets. He helps them find Count Olaf and solve a lot of mysteries. All of the children rescue their sister and get away from Count Olaf in time without being thrown of the mountaintop.
I liked this book a lot because it has a lot of mystery and adventure in it. It was fun figuring out where the secret clues were kept and have they figured out to save Sunny. In the other books before this one, Count Olaf was always posing in a disguise to fool the children and it was always fun to see what he was.
"As Sunny said, she and her siblings did not know where to go, and they didn't know how to get there, but the Baudelaire orphans were winding there anyway, and that is one thing I know for sure. " page 336 and 337. This quote was very significant in the book telling that they will always showing up during the time of trouble. They always had to figure a way out and get away from Count Olaf.
My favorite part of this book was when they found out that Quigley Quagmire was alive. They were so happy and relieved when they found he was helping them. Figuring what had happened to him at the Quagmire fire and learning about him living in secret tunnels were the best parts in the entire book.

Summary: Oh! My Goodness!
Review: My little brother likes these books, so one day I decided to pick one up. I immediately became hooked. But this one is just so weird! It's not at all like the other ones. but it is definitely the best. I felt The Carnivorous Carnival was something of a letdown. But this returns full swing to the classic Lemony Snicket goodness. But this one IS a little weird, don't you think? I mean, it's not as unfortunate, SO many secrets are revealed, they meet the fire survivor (I'm not sayin' who), and there are some hidden morals and meanings that some kids wouldn't pick up. It shown the determination that Klaus and Violet had when Sunny was kidnapped in the previous book. I love this one. It's the best one since Vile Village!

Summary: The Slippery Slope
Review: The Slippery Slope is about three siblings, the Baudlelaires, trying to solve mysteries about VFD (a secret organization that the siblings' parents were apart of), Count Olaf (an evil man show who tries to kidnap the orphans), their presumed dead parents, and many more. This book is apart of a ten book series, and this is the tenth book. The previous book in this series ended talking about how the Baudlelaire orphans are going to the Valley of Four Drafts, looking to find the headquarters of VFD and hopefully their parents. On the way up the mountains, they figure out that the evil Count Olaf has captured one of the Baudlelaire siblings, Sunny, and is going to burn down the VFD headquarters. Also, he's going to keep Sunny to finally have the Baudlelaire fortune (which he has been trying to get his hands on since the very first book in the series.) In my opinion, the Slippery Slope is a great book. It has so much action and humor, and it will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page. I recommend this excellent book to anyone who wants adventure and mystery in their life. Will Count Olaf capture the Bauldelaire siblings? Will Sunny ever escape from Count Olaf? Will the orphans finally solve the mystery of VFD? Read this book and find out!

Summary: MiSs.OoOo!
Review: The Slippery Slope by Lemony Snicket is a nice adition to the series of Unfortunate Events. In this book, the Baudelaires are seperated in the beginning. Using Violet's superb, mechanical mind and Klaus's amazing knowledge of books and words, they get through many problems. Only this time that had alittle help from Quigley Quagmire- the triplet everyone thought was dead. Quigley had amazing information on V.F.D that he picked up traveling in the footsteps of the Baudelaires. My favorite part in the book was when they escaped from the clutches of Count Olaf and his evil crew when Carmelita Spatz attempted to push them off the mountain. Although there was a tragic ending (as always) that i won't reveal, I know we'll be hearing more about the adventurous yet sad life of the Baudelaires. Lemony Snicket is an extremely talented author who makes it easy to understand what's going on in his stories by using situations that relate to us. His books have opened my mind and made me think about what he is trying to communicate to us. It's amazing how everything he writes fits in so well and all makes sense. I really enjoy reading Lemony Snicket and I encourage you to read all of his books!

Summary: don't read this book under any circumstances
Review: Just kidding. Although the author warns the reader amply against reading this book, I don't happen to agree. But do read at least a few Snicket books first, so you'll have some idea of what's going on (this is the latest in a long series). Briefly, it continues the adventures of the hapless Baudelaire orphans, Sunny, Klaus and Violet. The last two are separated from their baby sister Sunny, who is forced to cook and clean for Count Olaf's troop on a snowy mountain. Meanwhile Violet and Klaus meet a surprising companion who helps them further decode the mystery of VFD. They get closer to solving the questions of whether one of their parents survived in the fatal fire of Book One. Oh, and the nastiest girl in the world Carmelita Spats from "The Austere Academy" makes an appearance. Little does she know, she might soon be in the Baudelaire's shoes - an expression which means "in a very unpleasant similar situation."

Summary: Slippery Slope~ SO good!
Review: And the Baudelaires are off again, to the most exciting adventure yet. From the previous book, the two older kids are separated from their little sister, Sunny in the middle of the ice cold mountains. They manage, however, to meet eachother again. The evil Count Olaf and his crew would do anything to prevent them from being together. Along the way, Violet and Klaus meet someone extremely important in this whole case of VFD and someone that can help them find out more secrets of to where their parents could be. Also, in this book, VFD are unfolded in every adventure the kids go through. When I read this book, I literally read it within two days. It is a GREAT book that I couldn't put down, and I highly reccomend it for those fond of Lemony Snicket.
