Summary: THE BEST BOOK!
Review: This is one of the best books i've ever read.
It is about the 3 unlucky Baudelaire children Violet, Klaus, and Sunny. They are sent to live with their Uncle Montgomery Montgomery. Uncle Monty is a nice man who really cares for the Baudelaire children. He is a professor who studies snakes. Uncle Monty hires a professor named Stephano to be his assistant when they travel off to Peru to study snakes. Stephano is a very strange man. Violet, Klaus, and Sunny suspect really weird things about him, like hes someone else they met earlier. Who could it be and is "Stephano" really disguised?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Read, Read, READ!!!
Review: It is quite possible that this is the best book in the Series! It picks up where "The Bad Beginning" left off. Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire, three orphans with HORRIBLE luck, are sent to live with their cousin Montgomery Montgomery. Montgomery, or Uncle Monty, as he's called in the book, is a herpetologist. (A play on Monty Python if you couldn't tell) When the kids come to live with him things start looking good. They're taken care of, and they get to meet the many reptiles living in the house with them. One of those reptiles is the Incredibly Deadly Viper, a snake that only Monty knows about. Just when everything starts looking up, disaster strikes. The person the orphans dread most finds them. This is a great read. You'll just have to find out what happens to the Baudelaires on your own!! Hope you enjoy this book, and I hope this helped you out.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A dazzling book with razzle-dazzle characters!
Review: This book, the most jolly of all eight so far, is quite a good one. The way Lemony Snicket (Daniel Handler) lays out the mystery is quite amazing. The way it's solved is even more. Violet, Klaus and Sunny are fresh-born in A Series of Unfortunate Events and so aren't that used to "switching domiciles" they are a bit weak at first, but gain such a strength that even when they are most threatened by Stephano (Count Olaf) they prove that they are invincible in every aspect. Uncle Monty, their new guardian, is their best guardian out of the ones provided in the seven books (#8 didn't have a guardian, maybe Hal, but...). Uncle Monty is full of life and loves bonding with his adopted children. Unfortunately, something (as always), happens to Uncle Monty. This book is something so incredible because it contains originality and class. I would definitely rate it 5 stars all the way.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Witty, spectacular, and just the right amount of irony
Review: The Reptile Room doesn't remind you of anything. It is basically created in a world of its own. Something like this book is unique and really is worthwhile to grab a hold of. The mere fact that the author urges you not to read the miserable book will naturally trigger your curiousity and will make you read more. Not that that is a bad thing, though. The book is layed out so well that even though, while reading it you would know that there is an upcoming sequel, you are perfectly content with the one you're reading it. Of course, you are absolutely craving for a sequel once you have finished The Reptile Room. Lemony Snicket (Daniel Handler) has done an excellent job, and I commend him whole-heartdly for it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Poor Baudelaire Orphans.....
Review: This is the second installment of "A Series of Unfortunate Events" series. In this book, the Baudelaire Orphans are told they would be living with their Uncle, Dr. Montgomery. Not knowing what to expect, they feared the worse. They could only expect that because that's what their life holds. Misery and "unfortunate events", one after another. They are suprised to find out that they love it there. Each of the orphans have plenty of things to do that can expand their minds, and add enjoyment to their lives. This however will change. This happens when Dr. Montgomery's new assistant "Stephano" arrives. What is it that Stephano wants? How can he make the orphans life miserable? My suggestion that you read this book and find out.

I like Snicket's writing style. He keeps the reader glued to the page with interesting characters and interesting plots. I also like how Snicket explained what certian words are and how he intrupts the story for personal narration to the reader and let's them now what's coming.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best book in the series, my opinion.
Review: THE REPTILE ROOM is the 2nd book in this horrendous series.You wouldn't necessarily have to read the first book,THE BAD BEGINNING,but you would have to know what happened in the 1st to read the second. This book is one that you can't put down when you start.Despite Mr.Snicket's warnings in the first few pages, most people have ignored that and read on. It is a book that I reccomend to kids over 8.I also suggest reading a excerpt of it, because you might be surprised at the abrupt beginning.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: He's a coldhearted snake
Review: After narowly escaping Count Olafs trap in THE BAD BEGINING.The orphans are sent to live with Uncle Monty,a distant relative.Uncle monty proves to be a kind and caring man,unfortunatly Count Olaf arrives disguised as Stephano, Uncle M's asistant and chaos ensues.Personally i enjoyed this instalment better than the first one.Unfortunatly there is a big portion of the story which consists of the Baudelaires trying to reveal Stephanos true identity and nobody belives them,now this in itself is very annoying.If the Baudelaires can see through his disguise how come nobody else can?? The Baudelaires are forced to take matters in their own hands to reveal Count Os plan. There is a lot of repetion in the narrative,but overall an enjoyable reading experience.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Snicket finds his voice
Review: Book 1, The Bad Beginning, was really good, but this is the one where Lemony Snicket really finds his voice. If the first one was a little too dark for you, this one takes care of that because it seems brighter. Yes, it's true that only misfortune awaits the Baudelaire orphans again, but you already know that and you're ready for it. The laughs come bigger and more frequently in The Reptile Room, my favorite after finishing the first 5 books. This will be the one that convinces you to folllow the rest of the series. A breeze to read.
