Summary: The Best Book On Planet Earth
Review: The Reptile Room is filled w/ adventure and mytsery. Count Olaf appears again and everyone hates him(of course).This is a superb, and when I say superb I mean superb.Though I urge you, this book doesn't have a happy ending so keep it stored out of the reach of children!

Summary: Too Much Bad
Review: The Reptile Room The Reptile Room, the second in a wonderful book series by Lemony Snicket, is about how good things can come out of bad things through the misfortunes of three children: Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire. A terrible fire that also burned everything in the house suddenly orphaned them. In the first book, an evil madman who tries to steal their inheritance supervises the children. In this book the man comes back and tries again to steal the Baudelaire fortune while the children live with a nice relative named Montgomery Montgomery.
Sunny was a likeable character because she always said something funny and loves to bite things. Violet was a likeable character because she loves to invent things and isn't predictable. Dr. Montgomery was also a likeable character because he gives the kids a break after the events of the first book. I did not like Klaus because he was so boring. Count Olaf was a likeable character because he is always so mysterious. The theme is probably "good things come out of bad things." The fact that Count Olaf comes back and does bad things instead of good things is what I liked best. I least liked Mr. Poe coming back because of his boringness. I liked the end because it didn't have that happily ever after ending.
The author gives plenty of details and most of the time, keeps the reader interested. The vocabulary is pretty moderate because the author explains what some of words mean. I am not very satisfied with the way the way the book is written because he put irrelevant things in the book. The book would probably appeal to children ages 8 and up based on the fact that the vocabulary is not very hard, and the book is relatively short. I recommend The Reptile Room because it keeps the reader interested. PT

Summary: A great book for 9 and older.
Review: I read this book over and over again. The reason why is because I loved it. It's really a good book for 9-14 years of age. You have to get in all the other series to love it or you won't know what happened. There's a lot of parts where you want to put the book down and do whatever you have to do but you just can't, and just want to know what is going to happen next. I give this book a high score.

Summary: The series is growing...
Review: This series I can tell is going to prosper with many kids growing and loving it. If you have a kid in elementary school then they should read it because it is really easy and teaches new vocabulary words in a good way. This book is about 3 heroic orphans getting through their troubles with switching around with family members ever since there parents died. In the first book they end up in a horrible place with their horrible uncle, Count Olaf. Luckily they get away since he was trying to steal their fortune which they have in the bank and can't have until the eldest daughter is of age. They have now gone and stayed at a very distant relative who wants to call him Uncle Monty. They thought that the trouble would end but were they wrong, Uncle Monty is okay, but his new assistant... Note: Read the first book FIRST!

Summary: Olaf a minute
Review: I bought the book because of the cover... but I'm thrilled with the content. The language of "The Reptile Room" is beguiling, the characters, (and their names), pure mirthful pleasure. Both my 7 and 5 year old are as enchanted as I am by the lagubrious misery of the whole tale, from tribulation to triumph. Girls and boys come out to play. Lemony Snicket has perfect pitch.

Summary: Better Than the First
Review: This book was better than The Bd Beginning. I like the reptiles. Uncle Monty is cool too. He's one of the nicer gaurdians. This book is one the best in the series, but not my favorite.

Summary: Read The Reptile Room
Review: The Series of Unfortunate Events "The Reptile Room" by Lemony Snicket was great! It is about three siblings that are orphans. Their parents died in a fire in their house. Their caretaker, Mr. Poe, has to find them a family member to be their guardian. Their first guardian was an evil man called Count Olaf who tried to take away their fortune. Nothing goes right for them. Their newest guardian is Uncle Monty. If you want to find out what happens to Uncle Monty, the orphans, or Count Olaf's next evil plan, read the book The Series of Unfortunate Events "The Reptile Room" by Lemony Snicket.

Summary: Transforming world
Review: The book is a good dose of despair. Life isn't easy. We need this sort of story and it is a good literary slap in the face. However, the type of evil of Count Olaf is not realistic. Evil of his sort rarely stays around once it is stood up to. It usually runs and hides. The worst type of evil are those that consider themselves victoms. You need a deeper justification than money to keep up the fight Olaf is fighting. You need a sense of being oppressed to be that evil. Count Olaf is an over simplification, thus far. The villain of "Great Expectations", Mrs. Havisham, had a deep perverse, but seemingly just reason - to her anyway (hate always clouds reason) - to carry out the vengance she was seeking. I hope that we see the dark rooms of irrational motivation inside Olaf. The charactors are interesting, and the side tracks and methods of introducing new vocabulary are creative. But the characters are slowly growing flat and the situations and methods of extraction from them are not all that imaginative. I like what this book is trying to do, and for 7 to 11 year olds, maybe evil should remain one dimensional.

Summary: Best Book in the Series
Review: "The Reptile Room" is my favorite book in the Series of Unfourtunate Events. If you liked the first book can be almost sure you are going to like this one. The Baudelaire's troubles continue they go to live with another relative, Dr. Montgomery Montgomery (Uncle Monty, for short). He is a scientist who studies snakes. Not that Uncle Monty is the problem. No, the Baudelaire's are just about as happy here as they were with their parents. The trouble starts when Count Olaf shows up again, this time posing as Uncle Monty's assistant, Stephano. Things plunge from wonderful to horrible when Count Olaf shows up, but, as in the first book (and I've read the other books in the series so far, and this goes for them too), Lemony Snicket mixes in plenty of dry humor with the unfourtunate to make this book great. This is the book that made me want to read the rest of the series (something that's highly reccommended)!
