Review: This book is a very good book about the Baudelaire children. In this book the two older baudelaires must get their sister back from the clutches of Count Olaf. As they get through the mountains they encouter many odd things. Some of them are frozen waterfalls, snow gnats and snow scouts. The setting is the Mortmain Mountains. Here there are caves, rivers and flat mountain peaks. This book is a very good book for anyone who is looking for something exciting to read.

Summary: Begins where the last left off
Review: Fans of Lemony Snicket will find this latest addition to the 'Series of Unfortunate Events' titles to be equally compelling. The Slippery Slope begins where the last left off, so familiarity with the previous titles in the series is recommended for a smooth transition to this continuation, which tells of two orphans who struggle to find their kidnapped baby sister. New abilities and talents must come into play during the rescue in this moving story.

Review: The Slippery Slope (A Series of Unfortunate Events book 10)
By: Snicket, Lemony

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 them, to see what they're 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 location of the secret V.F.D. hideout. On the way to the V.F.D. hideout, Violet and Klaus encounter Quigley Quagmire, who is the "lost" brother of the Quagmire triplets. He helps them find Count Olaf and solve a lot of mysteries about their parents. All of the children rescue Sunny and get away from Count Olaf in time without being thrown off the mountaintop.I like this book a lot because it has a lot of mysteries and adventure in it. It was fun finding out where the secret clues were kept and figuring out couples that were written by Quigley's sister. They used all these clues to find out more information about their parents. They figured out that Count Olaf needed to know about the sugar bowl and they figured out where it was but they didn't tell count Olaf. " But why would they keep it a secret?" Violet asked. "And why would they have a secret passageway underneath the house?" page 167. "Jacques said that the passageways were built by members of the organization," Quigley said. " In the case of an emergency, they could escape to a safe place." Page 167. These two quotes show how Quigley explained to them a V.F.D. secret to the siblings. They show how the characters are finding out secrets from Quigley. My favorite part of this book was when they found out that Quigley Quagmire was alive. They were so happy for once and relieved that he was helping them. Figuring out what had happened to him at the Quagmire fire and at the V.F.D. headquarters was the best parts in the book.

Summary: Mystery of VFD ...
Review: In the previous episode of this tragic series, we were left at an excellent cliffhanger where Violet and Klaus Baudalaire were speeding down the Mortmain Mountains, while Sunny, the youngest of the three children, was left with the evil madman, count Olaf, traveling in the opposite direction. If you haven't read this series, then you will not know about any of this. I strongly suggest you put down this book at once and go search for a happier story about flying children who prance around finding a large amount of gold or silver. This story takes place in the Mortmain Mountains where Violet and Klaus are about to be killed from the drop that the House of Freaks caravan was about to experience. Violet and Klaus are forced to walk along the snowy path, attempting to keep up with their baby sister Sunny. Suddenly they stumble across a flock of snow gnats, which enjoy stinging innocent civilians for pleasure. Klaus does some quick thinking and wraps an oversized coat around himself and Violet, to protect them from the snow gnats. While trying to figure out the mystery of V.F.D., they find Quigley Quagmire, their best friends' brother, who supposedly died in a fire. The next thing they know they are face to face with Count Olaf, trying to rescue their baby sister Sunny. Despite the first paragraph, this series has excellent detail (such as when they are climbing a huge mountain with forks attached to their feet), which is added to an excellent plot, for a great story. You will also find a bit of humor snuck into certain parts to make the story even better. The mystery behind the many secrets of V.F.D. gives it a taste of fun, similar to books where you try to solve many mysteries, which leads up to a bigger mystery at the end. This book, so far, is probably the best in the series. I love it!

Summary: Not the best but still very entertaining.
Review: The Series of Unfortunate Events is probably one of the longest and most consistently entertaining humor/fantasies in the children's book area. The tenth entry lives up to the anticipation. Violet and Klaus having escaped hungry lions, murderous hostipals and overly fashion-conscious financial advisors are now locked in a car compartment hurtling to their doom, while their baby sister cries in the clutches of Count Olaf (nice cheerful start to a kid's book, eh?). Through the usual mix of inventive fantasy and coincidence, they manage to get out alive. Now they must focus on discovering the secret of VFD, finding the circumstances of their parents' death and most importantly, retrieving their sister. Snicket's writing is as clever as ever and you'll find yourself laughing more than once. His plot-development skills, however seem to have waned with the last book and he has trouble with anticlimatic plot points and a bit of "too much, too soon". Still, children will still love the over-the-top scenarios, the desperately likable trio of Violet, Klaus and Sunny and the hilarious Count Olaf and his band of slaves...ummmm followers while adults chuckle at Snicket's wry humor and tongue-in-cheek style. The Slippery Slope might not live up to the promise of some of the earlier books but it's still a fun, funny and often hilarious ride.

Summary: You Can Lose Momentum on the Slippery Slope
Review: For the tenth time we follow the adventures of the Baudelaire orphans, Violet, Klaus, and baby Sunny, though baby Sunny has grown up quite a bit since the first book. While I have looked forward to this book, there were certain aspects of the book that I found disappointing compared to my expectations. As you will recall from the last book, Count Olaf and his henchmen have kidnapped Sunny. Violet and Klaus are presumed dead in the crash of a caravan. Things are looking grim once again for the trio. However, all is not lost for the Baudelaires as we know from our experiences with the first nine books. In this book the orphans reach the Mortmain Mountains, the home of the long-sought headquarters, though not simultaneously or together. The questions for this book are: Will the orphans rejoin each other as they search for clues to their mysterious past? Will the orphans reach headquarters at last, and if so, what will they find there? What is the meaning of the mysterious initials "VFD?" The Baudelaires are clearly in a Very Fine Dilemma in this book. Watch out for the obnoxious snow gnats and beware of Snow Scouts wearing masks. While I enjoyed this book, I had a vague feeling that perhaps Lemony Snicket was losing a bit of momentum in his writing. The story seemed to move forward more slowly than the previous books. Violet's inventions were fewer and less inspired. Baby Sunny attempting to stop a toboggan with her teeth made me queasier than the previous uses of her teeth. The revelations in this book just didn't seem quite as creative to me as the previous books. It's possible that reading ten books with a similar style of writing has caused me to become accustomed to the style and it's no longer as fascinating as it once was. However, the story was interesting and I look forward to the final two books in the series. It will be interesting to see whether there is a Baudelaire parent that has survived the fire of the first book. Will Count Olaf finally get what is coming to him? Just what is in the mysterious Snicket file? The questions are endless, and will keep me reading to the end of the series.
