Summary: The best Lemony Snicket book yet!
Review: The Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire saga continues in "The Hostile Hospital." After escaping from the town of V.F.D. in order to avoid being burnt at the stake, the siblings go to work at a hospital, where Count Olaf finds them almost immediately and plans to kill them. He is wrongfully believed dead by most, due to Olaf's horrid scheme involving Jacques Snicket and deception pointing to the Baudelaires.

This eighth installment in the "Series of Unfortunate Events" is probably the very best of all. It reveals new, intriguing information about the fire at the Baudelaire mansion, and links to the siblings' past. Sunny, Violet, and Klaus encounter more danger in this book than in any other, and certainly the reader is gripped by the book. It is impossible to put it down until you have read the final page, which leaves the reader hanging, wanting nothing but to read Book 9, "The Carnivorous Carnival."

This is a children's book, but I'm 17 and have read every single one of the Lemony Snicket books so far. I was into them even before they became so popular. They are wonderful books with a quality of "solve-it-yourself" combined with a sense of adventure and foreboding. It doesn't matter what your age is; you'll fall instantly in love with the three siblings and their friends, Isadora and Duncan Quagmire (lol at names!). One word of advice: if you haven't read any of the books yet, START AT THE BEGINNING. Otherwise, almost nothing will make sense, and the most interesting parts (like Beatrice) will be incomprehensible and impossible to piece together.

Summary: WOW
Review: Lemony Snicket has done it again.An another wonderful book by him. This book was written slightly differnt and always keeps you at the end of you seat. I can wait to see what he comes up with next in The Carnivorous Carnival!!Lemony always has a way of explaining things in an awkward way. His details,humor, and stories always keep his fans comeing back for more!!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another "unlucky" delight from Snicket
Review: Snicket continues to quench my thirst for Harry Potter with another one of his horriffic novels.I love Snicket's unique writing,in which he intertwines hisself into the book.Yet we still don't know his relation with the Baudelaires.Snicket's climax's are wonderful,I mean,'horriffic" lol.This is his best yet.Do you think the mystery of V.F.D. will be solved?Read the latest 'awful' novel,and hear the startling news about a fire!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: OMG! THE BEST BOOK YET!
Review: THIS IS THE BEST BOOK IN THE SERIES (of unfortunate events). it has everything any reader (in their right mind) would ever want! it has humor, great dialogue, the perfect plot, and an incredibly unlikable villain- Count Olaf! The Baudelair Orphans create a witty and unpredictable book that makes Heimlich Hospital seem like a real place with a real Library of Records. Olaf (mattathias) is a villain you can't help but hate more than...whatever you really hate....! Anyway..I totally say that this book has to be better than the other seven (i've read the other ones like 10 times each)! The other one I highly recommend is number six- The Ersatz Elevator!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent!
Review: The eigth book in the Series of Unfortunate Events was well worth the wait. The Baudelaire orphans encouter many adventures and disguises. Count Olaf is not dead afterall and while the Baudelaires are working at a hospital, he finds them and takes Violet. He then wants to perform a highley dangerous surgery on her and the Baudelaires meet again with all of Count Olaf's associates. The book is full of adventure and surprises. It is definitely a must-read and a page turner.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Hostile Hospital
Review: This was by far the best book in the series. It was slightly different, because you see the other point of view. You read how Olaf's troup acts when they don't have to pretend to be nice. And in the midst of everything bad that happens to the Baudelaires, there is always humor.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Uh oh - Baudelaire Trouble Begins on the Double
Review: Wow, this book is the best one in the series so far. This is the 8th book in the Series of Unfortunete Events books. I got the book on September 1st (the day it came out) and I haven't been able to put it down. In this book the Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire have gone to the Heimlich Hospital while running away from people who think their murderers. What trouble!!!! Now, back to the story. The Heimlich Hospital is the Baudelaire Childrens eight home since that terrible fire that killed their parents and ruined their lives forever. An evil relitive of the Baudelaire Orphans, Count Olaf tries to steal their enormous fortune that their parents left behind. But I'm not going to tell you what he does you must read, read, read! While the Baudelaire Orphans are in the Heimlich Hospital they are working in the Library of Records to try to find out something, but I'm not going to tell you what you have to read, read, read! The Baudelaire Orphans run into Count Olaf and he does terrible thigs to them, but I'm still not going to tell you, you have to read , read, read. Whatever you do don't pay attention to the warning on the back of the book, I didn't and I love these books. I'm not going to tell you anymore or I'll ruin the story, so all you have to do to find out what happens to Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire is read, read, read!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The BEST BOOK and AUTHOR EVER!!!!!!:)
Review: This book, along with all the other books in the Series of Unfortunate Events are the funniest and best books i have ever read. I have had the honor of meeting Lemony Snicket/Daniel Handler, and he has the best sense of humor. These books make you laugh and cry, and you never want to put these books down. I have read these books about 5 times each, and i am urging you to buy these books!!!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Hostile Hospital
Review: The Hostile Hospital is a great and exciting book. It is about three children named Violet, Klaus, and Sunny who don't have parents anymore. Their parents died in a fire and now our living with relatives. These children also have a evil man after them named Count Olaf who is after their fortune. When ever they are with another person Count Olaf always shows up. The Hostile Hospital keeps you interested the whole time you read it.Can Violet, Klaus, and Sunny survive Count Olaf?

Rating: 5 stars
