Summary: Clever and Fun!!!!
Review: How would you feel to be staring at a sign made out of gum? Well that is the situation Violet, Klaus, and Sunny find themselves in as Mr. Poe their financial advisor has set them up with a new guardian whose name is Sir, because nobody can pronounce his name. The sibling find themselves in another most unfortunate situation as they are forced to work by sir at the Lucky Smells Lumbermill which he owns. However the most horrible thing is they only get a piece of gum for lunch and the head foreman , Foreman Flacutono is a grumpy and mean man. Much to their horror they have to sleep in damp wet conditions and only get one bunk between the three of them. However things get much worse when Klaus breaks his glasses and has to go to Dr. Orwell to repair them. When he returns Violet and Sunny can tell he isn't himself. When they investigate they find out that the nasty Count Olaf is disguised as Shirley a receptionist at Dr. Orwells. His new divised plan is to adopt the orphans if they cause any trouble at the mill as he or you can say she has already talked to Sir on that situation. However that is the least of Violet and Sunny's problems as they need to find a quick solution to get Klaus unhypnolized! The 4th on in the series is one of my favorites! It was so fun to read and the unfortunated situations the Baudlaires get into just pile up! So far I have read all eight of them and the plot really thickens later so keep reading!

Summary: An appallingy mirthful MILL
Review: Snicket's winning streak continues in this uproariously absurd entry in his A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS. Like the previous books chronicling the misadventures of three very unlucky orphans, THE MISERALBE MILL contains a gleeful mix of mock gloom and doom, surreal satire (the lastest ineffectual guardian, the blowhard capitalist mill owner known only as "Sir", has an unseen head perpetually covered by a thick cloud of cigar smoke), impossible situations, real suspense, and the author's delightful word play - the last in itself enough reason for grownups to read the books. What sets MILL apart is its more antic than usual plot - think Chuck Jones as influenced by Monty Python (with a dash of Dickens) and you won't be too far off the mark. I laughed out loud at least once every page (whether from the description of the depressing mill dormortory with its windows drawn on in ballpoint pen, Count Olaf's ludicrous disguise, Snicket's side-splitting autobiographical blips, the Warner Bros.cartoonish climax, etc.), and that's not an easy feat for any writer to accomplish. Snicket is a true genius, one of those rare authors whose work succedes on more than one level and is even more appealing to his adult fans - the ones who can get all the jokes.(Example: MILL's wicked optomestrist/hypnotist is named Dr. Georgina Orwell.) Kids can appreciate the fact that most of the adult characters are either too dense or too preoccupied to pay any attention to the real needs of the Baudeliare children, who must fend for themselves when the nutty goings get delightfully rough. As wretched and appalling as this may sound, long may the luck run out for our heroic orphans!

Summary: The First One I Didn' t Flip Over
Review: I didn't love this latest miserable chapter of the Baudelaire children. Maybe because I had such high expectations after the first three. Maybe I just loved the characters they went to live with in the second and third books. Maybe I was tired, I don't know.This is still fun, and charming, and clever. And it's always fun to see when and as what Count Olaf is going to show up, but it just left me a little colder than the others. But I am looking forward to starting book five.

Summary: Worst in series!
Review: The Miserable Mill is (I think) the worst in the series. Why? I'll tell you. When we meet Sir, he just seems to be mysterious. Charles is nice, since he gives the Baudelaires food instead of all that gum. The mill just didn't quite fit me as a good setting because nothing much happened except for the work they did. Count Olaf was particularly good in the sense of his character that he played. Another thing, this book was way to short. The ending was good when the Baudelaires fighted Count Olaf and his crew which was one of the reasons why I gave this book four stars instead of three. Although some of you may not agree with me about this being the worst in the series but this was how it felt to me.

Summary: A marvelously miserable book by Lemony Snicket.
Review: Violet, Klaus, and Sunny have endured some of the most horrid, unfortunate circumstances they could ever imagine since the sudden deaths of their parents. The three Baudelaire orphans just seem to always have misfortune following them -- and their miserable lives are about to become even worse. They have been sent to stay in under the care of a man who, quite mysteriously, has a cloud of smoke where his head should be. Assigned to work in a horrid mill that the three children find almost impossible to endure, their lives worsen by each day. And for some reason their evil uncle, Count Olaf, hasn't been seen around -- but little do they know where -- and how -- their evil uncle is lurking in the shadows. Can they solve a horrible mystery, avoid torture, and make their stay out alive? Or will Count Olaf for once be the victor of the Baudelaire fortune? This was one of the most hilarious books I have ever read, and Lemony Snicket's Series Of Unfortunate Events is so darkly funny I found it impossible to put down. The Miserable Mill, the fourth hilarious book in this unfortunate series, was another five-star, charming novel by Lemony Snicket, whose writing is beautiful and unmatched, funny in so many places that will always entertain.

Summary: I think it was my least favorite , but still wondeful!!!!!
Review: The Miserable Mill was a marvelous book, but it was probably my least favorite of the series. If I can give 5 stars to in my opinion the worst one...IMAGINE what the others must be like! They are wonderful books, and horrifyingly enjoyable! These books remind me of Roald Dahls books, but Lemony Snicket's books have a style of their own. I am counting the days until the next (7th) book comes out.

Summary: Hilarious and page-turning!
Review: This book wasn't as good as book #3 and #5, but it was good nevertheless. It was hilarious, and wonderful, and page-turning, and I've read it 5 times just like all the others. I crack up every time I come to the description of Shirley the receptionist (Count Olaf in disguise) and her sensible beige shoes. It has its good parts, and its hilarious parts, and its scary parts, and its creepy parts, and I love it. You have to read it!
