Summary: The Slippery Slope
Review: The Slippery Slope
by: Lemony Shicket
Period: 1 In this book, Klaus and Violet get separated from Sunny Baudelaire, the yougest child. Violet likes is an inventor, and she always keeps her haor tie when she is thinking of an invention. Klaus is a reader. He loves to read, and his reading education always seems to help the Baudelaire children when they are in trouble. Violet thinks of a plan to stop the moving vehicle. Then theu colllect the items they thought they needed on start to walk. They follow the river, which had fish in them. The fish looked like they were coughing because of heavy smoke. Snow knats attack them. These knats sting them, and they keep away from the smell of smoke. Klaus and Violet find shelter in a cave. Inside they meet the Snow Scouts. They were on a Snow Scout hike, going to the Spring Pole. They see one person mysteriously connunicating with the Baudelaire children. They know that each other were doing the same thing: looking for VFD. Sunny on the other hand is kidnapped by Count Olaf and his horrible team. She is forced to cook, and she sleeps in the trunk of the car. She does spying, and she learns that these two wicked people burned down the secret hideout of VFD. They have the Snicket File, which can prove that the Baudelaire orphan's father or mother were alive. It was the proof of the fire that had killed their parents and burned down their home. Violet miraculously saves the Baudelaire children and Quigley, the other triplet of Baudelaire's friends. They slide down the frozen waterfall on a tobaggon. They get separated in the raging river. Quigey went to the other side of the fork, while the Baudelaire children went to the other side. In this book, I like the quote, "...and we're not leaving without her." Klaus said this, and he said that after Violet and Quigley came bak down from the waterfall where they went to find Sunny. Klaus wanted his sister, and he said this. It showed that he cared, and that he was determined to get his sister back. Violet let her stay with Count Olaf because she wanted to do more spying, and Sunny said that now, she was a big girl. If they had taken Sunny, Count Olaf would've been suspicious. They leave her there, and Klaus said this boldly. He loved his sister, and she cared for him as well. "...accomodating, basic, calm, darling, emblematic, frisky, grinning, human, innocent, jumping, kept, limited, meek, nap-loving, official, pretty, quarantined, recent, scheduled, tidy, understandable, victorious, wholesome, xylophone, young, zippered." This is what the Snow Scouts say they are. They say that to people they meet, and to describe themsleves or something else. They say that they are these things, but then Klause realizes that some of them don't make snese. No one can be xylophone. They say that that is the only word that starts with an "x," but then Klaus says that they can be xenial. Then Bruce, the Snow Scouts troop leader says that they cannot change the pledge. I liked this quote because it makes me laugh. They have a word that starts with every letter of the alphabet, and they use them to describe themselves. It was a good part because it is funny. I liked this part of the book. My favorite part of the book was when Violet thinks of inventions very quickly. She ties up her hair, and in a few minutes, she thinks of an invention they need with the supplies they have. One time she saves them from getting pushed off a cliff. She hops onto a tobaggon, and the other children follow, Then the slide down the frozen waterfall. They make it out in time, just to find more tradegy in front of them. They unfortunatley get separated. Another part in the book that I like was when Quigley, Klaus, and Violet come cross a device that locks the door to VFD. They have to answer three questions to open it. They each use their masteries to help open the lock. Violet used her skills of all the famous scientists, Quigley with his mapping brains, and Klaus who used a book to solve one of the questions. These were my favorite parts.

Summary: One of my favorite Unfortunate Events book!
Review: The Slippery Slope is exciting, action packed, funny, and heartwarming. With such intriguing lines of study to follow and extreme stunts performed with grace by the Bauldinares, I loved each page more than the last. However, I find that unlike most books, the more you read The Slippery Slope, the less you understand it. Reading this story once should content you, or else you will be swept up in the story and confused by hearing things too many times.

Summary: Best book in the series
Review:
If you liked the first nine books in the series, then you will love this one. This book takes place in the Mortime Moutains. This book reveals some of the secrets of V.F.D, including the many things it stands for. I was also very excited as well as shocked to find out that the third Quagmire triplet is alive! We also find out that the last safe place is Hotel Denouement.
This series is my favorite series after Harry Potter, and I can't wait for the eleventh book to come. Also in case you are wondering the movie on the bad beggining comes out in September or October.( I can't imagine that they could do a movie on all the soon to be thirteen books. That would take forever.)
****you should read the first nine books in the series before you read tis book, otherwise you won't be able to fuly enjoy this book****

Summary: Snicket does it again
Review: You would think that by the tenth book this series would start to get old, but it just keeps getting better and better. Like King Fortis the Brave, Harry Potter and Artemis Fowl, the Unfortunate Events series is fast becoming a modern classic.

Summary: Another book in a great series.
Review: Before, I didn't like the people who said things like,'The Baudelaires are the unluckiest kids in the world! Hilarious!' when they described the books. True, the books were funny. But the main plot was that Daniel Handler was sick of happy endings, and created these wonderfully odd and engaging stories. In the latest book, it comes as close as possible to the quote above (which I am paraphrasing from an actual summary) as possible. You've got all the classics: vocabulary lessons, sadness, mystery (combined with the unauthorized autiobiography, you can spend hours analysing the series-but you still can be surprised, I was utterly shocked at a not-so-new character that appeared), and yes I admit it, there is a lot of humor. I particularily liked the part about the strawberry-crazed, stick-carrying maniac *laughs* But there is also some new stuff. The book deals with some serious issues (and I don't mean dark issues like death, that has been around since book one) like the worries that the Baudelaire's had of them being villains, or that fact that Sunny is more grown up, that make for an interesting read that makes you think and is somehow sadder then the normal unluckiness of the Baudelaires. This is the first book in which the Baudelaire's are seperated and (as cliched and oxymoron like as this sounds, I normally loathe to do oxymorons) it is both sadder then most books yet lightened by more humor. (This is probably due to the fact that the book is over 300 pages long, but any Lemony Snicket or Harry Potter fan will be able to zip through and still want to log online and chat about the new clues you have found out. There are also some new characters (SPOILER! Even a romance in which Lemony tortures his fans by choosing just then to 'give Violet some privacy' >:( :P END OF SPOILER!), old favorites, and a lot of new information on VFD. All in all, this is a great book with both humor and sadness and tantalising clues about VFD, and I highly recommend it to both Lemony Snicket fans and people who just want to know if the books are as good as people say they are. (hint: they are, although I imagine that some people may find them a bit repetative-I don't, but some people might) I'm already wating eagerly for the next book.

Summary: The latest book in an already memorable series!!!
Review: Lemony Snicket shows once again that he is not only a emotionally harmed person, but also a exellent author. There are only a couple more books left. Like everything having to do with his books there will be 13. There are also 13 chapters in every book.This is because the three children are the three most unlucky children in the world. Their parents die, they get a evil gaurdian who wants to steal their fortune. This man keeps on chasing them and he will not stop until he has their fourtune. Yet now, Sunny (the yougest Baudelaire)is kidnapped by Count Olaf (the villain). So now the plot is so deep that you can't just pick up this book and understand it. Yet if you start reading this and the other books, the only thing you'll be dissapointed about is the sad story of the Baudelaire's sad life. It will keep us all guessing about how it will end.
