Summary: Unfortunately two steps down from the first volume
Review: I love the first volume in this series. I bought the second
one because I have an affinity for reptiles. I love the author's
view of reptiles (not necessarily herpetologically accurate but
outrageously funny at times). However, this second volume wasn't
nearly as ghastly and much more predictable in its plot. While I
couldn't put the first volume down, this one I could leave for
hours at a time without a terrible desire to return to it. The
second book in a series often shows weaknesses that are ironed
out in the third and fourth and ... volumes. I am going to
continue reading.

Summary: the baudelaires at their miserable best
Review: I call these books Edward Gorey gothic--gloomy events related in the polite but hysterical tone of an Austen heroine gone round the bend. The narrator wrings his hands over the terrible events he describes, digresses like Wilde on speed, and sips tea, all the while begging the reader not to turn the page. Snicket's Baudelaire orphans are Kafka kids who move from one harrowing (and absurd) situation to the next with scarcely a pause.This is the best Baudelaire book so far--the most improbable, ghastly, and ridiculously involved. Murder, car crashes, truly bad disguises, lots of snakes, an endless discussion about the best way to carpool three orphans and a corpse, and a whole page covered with the word "ever." You'll laugh till you cry--or maybe the other way around.

Summary: The Reptile Room Review
Review: This is a great book that keeps you interested in the book until you have read all of it. Once you have finished it, you should read all the books in the series. Make sure you read The Bad Beginning first, or else you will get confused.

Summary: tim curry is outrageous!
Review: The story is really fun, but the narration is phenomenal. My daughter and I have listened many times to this great, imaginative story read by the inimitable Tim Curry. I wish additional books were narrated by him

Summary: Another masterpiece by Lemony Snicket.
Review: Lemony Snicket comes back with yet another great book. Violet Klaus and Sunny Bauldelaire have another great adventure but now they have a new gaurdian. The setting is in the countryside where their new gaurdian Montgomery Montgomery,(or Dr. Montgomery) lives, and he is a reptile biologist. This book is very great but also sad. So before you read it just make sure you have a hankerchief with you.

Summary: When you say 'orphan,' do you mean...
Review: How ghastly, how gruesome! As promised, the poor, unfortunate Baudalaire orphans have little happiness in their life. This second book is every bit (if not more so) as violent, grim and dark as the first. I've been captivated by this series, even though it isn't what anyone would call "Heavy Reading." If you have a half hour or so to devote to each installment, jump in, because they're intelligent, hilarious and vastly enjoyable.

Summary: Lemony Snicket Does It Again
Review: I've read 6 of these books and The Reptile Room is by far my favorite. You'll want to keep reading. Good to read at night. Try to foil Olaf's plan with the Baudelaire orphans. They could use your help.

Summary: INCREDIBLE STORYLINE !
Review: If you're waiting for the next Harry Potter book and think nothing else can quench your taste for adventure and suspense, think again because you won't be able to keep your eyes off this one. This book is about a team of orphans who have just escaped the terrible treatment of their guardian Count Olaf (a greedy man who hopes to gain money from the orphans). They head for a street by the name of Lousy Lane where they meet their new guardian Uncle Monty. Here they have one of the most wonderful times of their lives until by a twist of fate they come face to face with an old nemisis who seeks revenge and some money. I recommend this book because each character has a complex personality and because this book keeps you asking ''How are they going to get out of this one''. I think this book is great for readers of all ages.

Summary: Couldn't stop reading!
Review: I thought the Reptile Room was great! I couldn't put it down! I've read 6 of his books and I'm getting the 7th one. They really great because each plot is different and there's just so many things to think about in his books you can never get bored with them. All his characters are original and have there own personalities which makes the characters very life like. Also you can relate to the Baudelaires because their personalites are human and not just made up. I think you should read this book!
