Summary: READ IT!!!...
Review: This book was very good because it was funny and Lemony Snicket is a very funny writer. He makes a lot of jokes. The orphans are so brave, the way they can handle any situation that comes there way. If you read this book, it will really get you excited.

Summary: The Austere Academy
Review: I think that this is a great book but it could be a little bit more happier. I know that this book is in a series of unfortunate events but even unhappy books can be a little bit happy. But I think it is a great book FOR A RAINY COLD GREY DAY!

Summary: AN AWESOME BOOK!!!
Review: The Austere Academy is the fifth book in "A Series of Unfortunate Events" by Lemony Snicket. This grimly hilarious children's novel will entertain and intrigue readers looking for a fun book to read. In each book in this series it is fun to meet the different villains, and discover Count Olaf's new disguises. In the Austere Academy Sunny, Klaus, and Violet Baudelaire are shipped off to a boarding school,which has the motto Memento Mori(remember, you will die)! During their stay the Baudelaires encounter snapping crabs, strict punishments, dripping fungus, comprehensive exams, six-hour violin recitals by the evil vice-principal Nero who thinks that he is a genius, Special Orphan Running Exercises(S.O.R.E.), and the metric system. I recommend this exquisite book to everyone! I also recommend: The Bad Beginning, The Reptile Room, The Wide Window, The Miserable Mill, The Ersatz Elevator, The Vile Village, the Harry Potter series, and the Orphan Train Quartet.

Summary: Pure genius
Review: Thanks to some American friends, I recently discovered the joy of Lemony Snicket, and devoured all 7 books in the space of a week. It's hard to chose just one book, but I think this is my favourite. If only because it featured my new heroine, Sunny Baudelaire, working as a secretary, a concept I found oddly hilarious. Like the rest of this glorious series, The Austere Academy is very funny, very nasty, and, in its portrayal of the warm relationship between the unfortunate orphans, strangely heartwarming. Minka!, as Sunny might say. Or rather, shriek.

Summary: The surprising amount of spelling errors
Review: I was simply looking at all the reviews for my third favourite book in this series, and noticed something very shocking. It seems that many people writing reviews are either being hypnotized by Count Olaf, or they simply need some grammatical lessons from Mrs.J.Anwhistle. There are a great quantity of spelling errors. Also, some people type in the wrong description of the characters. For example, Violet is not 13, but rather 14. Quite frankly, I find that Violet happens to be the smartest of the trio, as Klaus always blurts out his discoveries to C. Olaf.

Summary: The unfortunate lives of the Baudelaire orphans continue.
Review: Violet, Klaus, and Sunny have been sent to Prufrock Preparatory School, where they hope they can find happier times and be protected from the greedy fortune-snagging Count Olaf. But just as they begin to settle down, they begin to realize just how much trouble they're in. The rules are outrageous. The teachers are outright boring and ridiculous. Poor Violet and Klaus are the victims of their own sour gorilla-like teachers, and what's most outrageous is the fact that a baby like Sunny has been hired by the principal as Secretary! And then there's the likes of ruthless Carmelita Spats, who thinks she's the very best student in all of the school. The Baudelaires are almost hopeless when they meet the Quagmire triplets. They, like the Baudelaires, had tragic circumstances and are also ridiculed by other students. They're the only ones who understand the Baudelaires, and befriend them. For once, the unlucky Baudelaires have found friends -- but not before Count Olaf once again will somehow come out of his hiding -- wherever he is -- and soon the Baudelaires will find more misfortune then they ever wanted, as well as a haunting mystery and terrible nightly routines. The Austere Academy is the fifth miserable book in this series, and the ending was very surprising, leaving the reader on a devastating cliffhanger to read the sixth book, The Ersatz Elevator.

Summary: Wonderful book.
Review: This, I must say is one of my favorites in the series. These are very Roald Dahlesk books, so if you like Roald Dahl, you will probably like this. Such funny happenings as a baby being forced to be a seceratary, and make her own staples, and nightly 6-hour long violin concerts by a headmaster who can't play the violin worth a hoot. I thought that this book put a nice change in the series that was beginning to be JUST A TAD repetitive. Now that their are new inscentives of Count Olaf and the Bauldeires, the books have a new level of excitment. This book especially kept me reading, I read the whole thing in one sitting. I strongly suggest you read these books in order, but don't stop at the 3rd or 4th one, keep reading and you will get to the really exciting ones.
