Summary: Best series next book,The Slippery Slope
Review: I think the Slippery Slope, Lemony Snicket's (author)tenth well written book is great. This book was exciting til the very last word.I personally would give this book five stars.The fourteen year old Violet has very good inventing skils because she makes snow boots for her siblings to climb Mt.Fraught. Klaus the middle Baudelaire helps decode secrets of V.F.D and this helps make the story more interesting. As a reader I think it is hard to be patient because if you read the other books in the series; you will want to know who is the mysterious survivor. In this book Lemony Snicket well describes every bit of Count Olaf's schemes. You can clearly get a picture in your head about how the Baudelaires are feeling through their struggles with "Snow Gnats" and how they feel when their baby sister is taken away. I think the setting is very good in this story because it relates to why Count Olaf came to "Mortmain Mountains" and has a lot to do with secrets of V.F.D. Count Olaf and his troupes have very antagonists feelings towards the Baudelaire orphans. They make it difficult for the orphans. Therefore I came to a conclusion that the "Slippery Slope" is a very good book and would deserve five stars.

Summary: Snicket does it again
Review: Snicket weaves an intriguing tale of suspense, humor, mystery, and even a bit of romance in the latest installment of his thirteen-book saga. This volume describes the Baudelaire orphans' trials and tribulations in the Mortmain Mountains as they encounter various eccentric, well-read, and sinister personalities (not necessarily in that order). Handler manages to actually say, out in the open, details of the mystery of VFD without hitting you over the head with it. Introduction of new (and sometimes unexpected) characters both adds to the story and the suspense. In my opinion, this is one of the better books in the series.

Summary: 10th is best, so far......
Review: The tenth installment of the "series of unfortunate events" is a comepletely new and awesome adventure. There are so many twists and turns, it is almost unreal, with a shocking, almost u-turn twist in the middle. Once again, you get more light shed on the true meaning of VFD, but somehow, the organization is as mysterious as ever......
At the end, you want Snicket to release the next book more than ever. Not only does it leave you hanging on the edge, but it cuts off suddenly, as usual, right in the middle of another twisting climax.

Summary: How is it possible?
Review: How is it possible? How can one author pull it off 10 times in a row? Magnificent. Lemony Snicket (if that's his true name) is brilliant the "The Slippery Slope." While the Baudelaires orphans try to figure out more information about their lost parents and discovering the true secrets behind the V.F.D, they also have to worry about getting their sister back from he clutches of the evil Count Olaf. So many twist and turn are thrown at the Baudelaire orphans, you cant seem to read it without thinking "how do they do it?" The tone of this book is supposed to be slightly depressing with a little humor. I highly recommend this book the anyone that can read. Excellent.

Summary: Three more books to go?
Review: Obviously, I can only add to the glowing reviews that this book has already received. I will not contradict - a word which here means "tell these people that they're opinions are as useless as infant slavery" - the prior reviews as I am in total agreement with them.What I want to add is that the writing style transports me back to those days when I was a child trying to come to grips with how adults behaved. To a kid things are simple and clear, and yet the actions and motivations of adults are cryptic. And in this, Lemony Snicket has (over the course of 10 books so far) taken us most of the way through the journey of enlightenment for three young orphans. The virtues demonstrated by the protagonists are uncompromising and serve as a splendid example of how to live your life in the face of so much uncontrollable disaster. As with the greeks and forever more, tragedy is the highest form of art. This is the most enjoyable series I have ever read, children's or otherwise. And is the rumor true, that as there are 13 chapters per book, that there will be 13 books in the series? The clues are everywhere.

Summary: Funny and Witty
Review: This fantastic novel grabs the reader in a whirl of excitment and adventure from page one. In this book, the three orphans must face a swarm of snow gnats, an annoying group of snow scouts who can't think of an adjective for x, and a fashionable woman dressed like a fire, sledding down a frozen waterfall.
This may sound strange, but Lemony Snicket's books are all about strange. I highly suggest this book to anyone. Some may think the series bad at first, but, if you keep on reading, you will understand Mr. Snicket's powerful writing.
However, start with book one, The Bad Beginning, before reading this.
By the way, the clue for book eleven is: "Many individuals have the same initials which can lead to much injustice."

Summary: Best of the Series!!!!!!!
Review: I got this book the day after it came out, and i must say I couldn't put it down. I read it in 3 days flat. It's 300-something pages and very thrilling and at the end leaves you hanging. If you liked the other books in the series, you'll LOVE this one!!!
PS Have you noticed all the books have thirteen chapters? Hmm...
PPS This is the best!!
