Summary: The Hostile Hospital
Review: I thought this book was amazing, but yet in the beginning I thought it was boring because it was the same story as every other one. That olaf would come and try and take the children away from their gaurdian or in this case the hospital. eventhough it was the same it was great thumbs up to lemony snicket.

Rating: 2 stars

Summary: They did it again !!!
Review: I love this book! This book is called A Series of Unfortunate Events, The Hostile Hospital. It is the eighth book in the series by Lemony Snickets. The Baudelaire children always run from place to place, and always run into Count Olaf. I hate him. He has this nasty theater group with stooges that take part in crime with him. They cause so much trouble for the Baudelaire children. Mr. Poe is a family friend and also is in charge of the Baudelaire's affairs. He does not pay attention or listen to them until the last minute. This causes a lot more problems for the children. I would recommend this book to anyone eight and older who likes secrecy and solving puzzles in books.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Hostile Hospital
Review: The book that I read was called the Hostile Hospital by Lemony Snicket.This book is about Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire. Everyone thinks that Violet, Sunny, and Klaus are killers. Of course Count Olaf is behind it all. Count Olaf is a bad person who tries to steal the Baudelaire's fortune. Violet, Sunny, and Klaus parents die in a fire. Ever since, Count Olaf has tried to steal their fortune. Well, I wish I could say more but that would give away the story. So go to the library and check out the Hostile Hospital by Lemony Snicket.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Will the mystery of V.F.D. ever be solved?!
Review: I got into the Unfortunate Series books nearly two years ago because I was looking for something to tide me over until the 5th Harry Potter book came out. I was not disappointed! The books are quick and easy reads, and I can read them over and over again and not get bored.

In this book, the orphans seem closer to the mystery of V.F.D and the mysterious circumstances surrounding their parents' deaths. Here, V.F.D. stands for Volunteers Fighting Disease, a group that goes around Heimlich Hospital attempting to cheer up the patients. The Baudelaires are assigned to work in the Library of Records, and it is there they find some startling evidence, and it seems that things are looking up. Alas, Count Olaf makes his appearance, along with his henchpeople. The Baudelaires must stop him or face tragic consequences, a phrase which here means a violent near-death.

Lemony Snicket's books are good for young readers because he uses a broad vocabulary and explains it so they can understand. Readers will learn words they probably haven't heard before, used in interesting ways. I thoroughly enjoy this series and recommend it to all ages.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Lemony Pulls off Another Yarn of Misery
Review: Snicket has done it again! He has created another tale of suspense, evil, and woe.the Baudelaires have ended up at the
Heimlich Hospital, where, as expected,Olaf and his troupe are in hiding, readyto get the fortune in their evil clutches.
I reccomend this book to anyone, and it will leave you yearning only for the next one
to come out.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Cleaver Idea
Review: While this book would be great for a younger audience, to read it as an adult it wasn't nearly as entertaining. I do like some young adult/children's literature (such as the Harry Potter books and Phillip Pulman's books) but this one was a disappointment to me.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An Exciting Book
Review: I rated this book 5 stars because it was interesting the entire way though. Once you pick it up, you don't wanna put it down! This was my 2nd book in the series I read, and I loved it. It's interesting that the author puts his own thought to express events in the book. I recommmend this book to anyone!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Famous to be?
Review: I dont know about you, but i am intregued by Daniel Handlers books (lemony Snicket) His writing style is so unique and i love how he randomly inserts his own thoughts into the book. it makes me wonder why on earth he hasnt become so widely known as J.K. Rowling! I have read the Harry Potter series 14 times, and i had refeused to read anything else, because i never thought there was any comparison to them, then, i couldnt find anything to intrest me, and i really didnt want to read the Harry Potter series again. since i practicly had it memorized, so i thought, why not? and i decided to buy the first book in the series of unfortunate events... after reading it, i went directly to the book store and bought the 2nd book, and i dont want to offend the Harry Potter books, i mean, i still really like them, but i am actually starting to like this series more! I really think you should read this series, i am on book 8 right now, and still truckin'... this book is PERFECT if you have finished the harry potter books and dont know what to read next. and even if you havent read the harry potter books, i think this book is excellent for ALL readers!
