Summary: Wonderfully unfortunately continuing so!
Review: The mysterious author with the citrusy name is certainly to be admired for his endless cleverness. Continuing the oh-so unlucky tale of the Baudelaire orphans with the same wickedly awful humor and page-turning plots, the no-more fortunate Mr. Snicket unceasingly contrives to not only entertain his young (and not-so-young) audiences, but to also teach them a bit here and there about language and semantics in an entirely nasty fun way. The popularity of this series in no way surprises and most definitely delights this cranky ol' children's librarian to no small end. Thank goodness the Lemony One is more prolific than the Potter Word-Wizard, so we, especially the 'tweeny-boppers among us, have some great reading while waiting. There much to recommend this series to anyone who enjoys a fun romp in the land of verbiage and a rollicking good read as well.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THIS SHOULD HAVE 100 STARS!
Review: I would give this book 100 stars if I could!
This book is very miserable, Count Olaf is after these poor orphans and the series has gone on. Up to the 9th they are the BOMB! They are wonderful, though very unfortunate for these young children and it is another great book in this series that will keep you on your seat through the misery, woe, and Count Olaf.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best out Of All Of Them!
Review: After narrowly escaping Count Olaf, Sunny, Klaus, and Violet meet their new guardian Uncle Monty(a reptile expert.) I have read just about every book so far and this one is still my favorite. These books are fun to read but you should read them in order.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Imagine Living these kid's lives!
Review: Think you have bad luck? The Baudelaire children, Violet, Klaus, & Sunny, have horrific luck. Their parents died in a great fire, and they are going to live with their Unlce Monty. He's a herpetologist, which is a scientist who studies snakes. He has a huge room full of snakes, including the newly discovered "Incredible Deadly Viper", which, as it turns out isn't THAT deadly. Uncle Monty gives them a wonderful life, at least, compared to their former gaurdian, Count Olaf. In fact, he's going to take them to Peru to find snakes. Then, when the Baudelaire children think their lives couldn't get any better, something dreadful happens. Count Olaf returns! He also has a new plan to take their fortune. This book is great, not only because of the story line, but also because it gives you a better vocabulary, as the characters tell the meaning of words in their dialogue. It is the second book in The Series of Unfortunate Events. It doesn't make much sense without reading the first book, "The Bad Beginning". Many horrible things happen in the book, but that's why it's in: The Series of Unfortunate Events.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Uncle Monty. Mr. Poe. Baudelaire Orphans. Stephano.
Review: The Reptile Room is the second book filled with the Bauedlaire childre's misfortune. When the orphans go to live with their Uncle Monty everything seems to be fine untill a new assintant, Stefano who is realy a man they hoped never to see again makes a plan to get their fortune. The children know who Stefano is but no one thinks the are right. This story is funny, educational and sad. I loved how Mr. Snicket as in the first book gave a definition for all of the words that were big or techinal. This was a great book I found myself reading it over and over again! READ THIS BOOK!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Depressing but, good
Review: Casey Fleming

My favorite book I read over the weekend was The Reptile Room by Lemony Snicket.It's about the Baudelaire children who lost their parents in a car accident. Now they have to go live with their late father's cousin's wife's brother. One reason I like this book is because of the room full of reptiles. A deadly serpent lives there, because he removed from a lake in Scotland. The three children try to reason with their Uncle Montgomery, because it's not right to capture a serpent in a room full of reptiles. So they try to capture it by letting the littlest kid be the bait, and the older kids trap it in a net. Another reason I like it is because a long knife needs to be found to open a secret passageway to a room full of gold. The children search and search the house but, couldn't find it . They tried to open a door to a room that hasn't been open for a long time. They opened it and discovered a terrible odor that wanted to make them barf. When they finally opened the all the way they discovered the item they were looking for. The last reason I this book is when they see a person they hope to never see again. It was a man named Dr. Lucafat because they hate the doctor. He was a veterinarian for the retiles. The reptiles loves, even the serpent missed him .He was the reason the reptiles got mad. In conclusion you can see why my favorite book is The Reptile Room by Lemony Snicket.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Again, too good to be graded!
Review: Again, wow. Lemony Sniket has done it again with one of my favorite in the series, "The Reptile Room". This book is astounding! Another Sniket book that you never want to let go. In this one Count Olaf comes back as the main villian. Again, he tries to steal there foutunate but fails. This book (again) will knock your socks off! So pick it up and READ IT! You'll love it! Trust me. I know a GREAT book whe ni read and see one.

Rating: 4 stars

Review: BOOK THE SECOND

If your interested in a book that happens to be very bad smelling and sad this is a great one. It all starts out with the three Baudelaire children going to live with their uncle Montgomery Montgomery because their parents died in a house fire.
On their way to his house they are traveling on a road called Lousy lane which smells like horse radish.At his house they learn a lot of new things,but when they realize that Count Olaf has found them ,they have to worrie about saving there lives and one more life!
I think this book is very good and unpredictable.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: The Reptile Room
Review: The Reptile Room the second book in The Series of Unfortunate Events. It is a continuation of the unfortionate events that the three Bauldelaire Children have had.
The Baudelaire Children once again were moving. they were moving to their, father's cousin's wife's brother, Dr.Montgomery. They called him Uncle Monty. He was a sweet gentalman who had a kind heart. He is a herpetologists(a person who studys reptiles).
One day Uncle Monty gets a new assistant to help on his next trip,to find more reptile specimens. When the children meet him they see the eye tatoo on the left ankle. the same exact one that was on Count Olaf's ankle. They imediately were terrified to know that Count Olaf found them. They tried to confront Uncle monty but he was to caught up in his work to listen.
If you want to find out what happend to the Baldelaire children and Uncle Monty Read The Reptile Room By Lemony Snicket.
I would rate this book with 5 stars Because it is one of the best books i have ever read.
