Rating: Summary: Woe and Mystery!!! Review: Whar else can come from the eight book of The A Series of Unfortunate Events then horrible situations for the Baudalaires? As we all know by now in the 7th book "The Vile Village the Baudalaires are accused falsely of the murder of Jacques Snicket. As their woeful lives continue the orphans join V.F.D(Voluteers Fighting Disease) at the Hemilich Hospital. There they are sent to the Library of Records to work. As we all know by now where the orphans go Count Olaf follows. This time however he can't be seen as the oprhans only know he is the head of the hospital. Just when they discover extrodainary evidence in the Library of Records on themselves Esme Squalor(now the girlfriend of Count Olaf) comes and captures Violet. It seems Count Olaf is going to do some very uneccessay surgery on poor helpless Voilet. Can Klaus and Sunny foil his plans once again?Through this book Lemony Snickey worked his magic again with his dry humor! I was also excited because he is revealing more and more on the circumstances of Beatrice's death and it seems very related to Esme Squalor. So many question are lurking that I can't wait for #9 the Carnivourous Carnival!!
Rating: Summary: A wonderful book, the best! Review: Lemony Snicket has outdone himself again. Filled with woe and dispair and quite a few humorous parts Mr. Snicket produces yet another page-turner novel. The series is like one big chapter book each book being another installment in the big mystery he is devolping. Each book tells you some things but makes you want to read more because you have the feeling hes not telling you all of it. The Hostile Hospital is by far my favorite in the series so far. I can't wait for #9-The Carnivorus Carnival! Anyway I absolutely love them and reccomend the whole series to anyone who's sick of the ordinary "happy ending" or just wants to read some awesome books!
Rating: Summary: 6 stars!! Review: This book rox!! It kept me intrested all the time. Lemony Snicket uses very intresting and expressive words. I would definately recommend this book to anyone!!!!!!!!! If your in a slump and can't find anything to read read the first of this series than make your way through all of them. you will not regret it!!!!!!!!!!!
Rating: Summary: the dark hilarity is sustained... Review: As a 30 year old adult reading The Series Of Unfortunate Events I find myself as excited as an 8 year old when a new volume arrives from Amazon every few months. In The Hostile Hospital the mysterious Mr Snicket manages to maintain the wonderful bleak humour from the previous books with a plot that is both delightful and ridiculous at the same time. You would think that after eight books the series might be starting to lag a bit, but not at all. Roll on number 9...
Rating: Summary: A GREAT BOOK!!!!!!!!!!! Review: Ok, this book is probably one of the best of 'em so far! I luved it, it always kept you on the edge of your seat. The main characters are, of course, Sunny, Voilet, and Klaus...and Olaf, but who cares about him. Well, they're put in the paper as Murderers, and they get busted by a shop keeper. So, they get in this van, go to the hospital, and work on papers to help them find their parents, not just to hide undercover. So, Babs, the head hauncho, is taken away, and Olaf takes over! :O Then, they're taken for vandalist becuz...well, what, you think I'm gonna' tell the rest? You read it! :D
Rating: Summary: A Book Review of Hostile Hospital Review: I think this book should have a Newberry Honor Award! I loved this book! I could never put it down! The setting takes place in the 1800's in Helmich Hospital. The characters are Violet, a fourteen year-old inventor, Klaus a thirteen year-old who loves to read, and Sunny who's only a baby and likes to bite everything in sight. One of the unfortunate events is when a storekeeper is chasing Violet, Klaus, and Sunny around his store because he thinks that they murdered someone.This book makes you think about all the events. This is the greatest book I've ever read!
Rating: Summary: Lemony Snicket is a genius. Review: Okay I've read this series since the third book came out. Lemony Snicket's style has not once annoyed me, but the contrary. It may be the only reason I continue this series. Although the storyline a great and humor filling I believe this series would not have been as popular without Lemony's few quirks. He is still constantly explaining words (with outrageous definitions), and has the few odd add-on's (this time it was STOP, another 4 pages of black). But by far his most unique move has come now, in this book. If you read you will see that the characters are growing (Klaus had a birthday, Sunny can now speak fairly coherently). He is also pulling himself, as an author, into the story, a move I've never seen done before. This alone should catch people's attention, but the dark humor and exaggeration (on almost everything) makes these books into a classic series. The mysteries build, and the identity of Lemony Snicket (obviously that's not his real name) is ever coming closer to becoming revealed. Only if there could be more books like these.
Rating: Summary: A good nights read Review: Just finished this one last night, and am sorry that the next book is not yet available. I find the writing style delightfully dark, in an Edward Gorey kind of way. The books themselves are beautifully bound, and look just great on the shelf. I do enjoy the characters, and how they are developing along the way. If you like dark humor, this is for you!
Rating: Summary: The Hostile Hospital/ Series of Unfortunate Events. Review: In the eighth book of the Series of Unfortunate Events, what else can be expected but woe and mystery? Due to some extremely incorrect publishing in a newspaper, the whole world now believes that the Baudelaire orphans are dangerous murders. However, nothing could be further from the truth since Klaus, Violet and Sunny are no less murders than you or me. Taking refuge in a hospital, the orphans are forced to disguise them selves as V.F.D's (Volunteers Fighting Disease)! Of course, wherever the orphans go, Count Olaf follows and this time he has devised another disastrous scheme. As I thoroughly enjoyed all the other books in the Series of Unfortunate Events, I enjoyed this book just as much. All of Lemony Snicket's books seem to follow a certain format, orphans find a new home (and when Mr. Poe is there he hardly stays to say hello to the orphan's unfortunate guardian,) Count Olaf makes his stinking appearance, none of the adults can see through Count Olaf's stupid disguise and the Baudelaires are forced to get out of their dilemma on their own. I hear this book contains ' misleading newspaper headlines, unnecessary surgery, an intercom system, anaesthesia, heart-shaped balloons, and some very startling news about such things, ' as Mr. Snicket so kindly put it. As well as telling the woeful tale of the Baudelaire orphans, Lemony Snicket slowly is revealing his own life's tale. Such as how his dearly beloved Beatrice died, something horrible that still makes him cry at night about Count Olaf, and something I am dieing to know about, the mysterious Jacques Snicket who was killed in 'The Vile Village'. As well as the mysterious V.F.D, and whether the Baudelaire orphans will ever see the Quagmire triplets again! Perhaps the last book in the series will explain all these loose ends! I congratulate Lemony Snicket on producing such an intriguing tale when his when life is filled with misery. I recommend this book for all ages- anyone who would find it interesting!
