Summary: Unfortuneately awfully good!
Review: Unfortuneately I am hooked on this series and this book is the best yet. Mr. Snicket gives just enough answers to leave readers (and the Beaudelaires) wanting to know more! You MUST read the autobiogrpahy before this one because it will make more sense. I can't wait for book the 11th!

Summary: They keep getting better...
Review: Every time I start a new book in this series, I think I have a good idea of where it is going, but I always end up surprised. I love the way the books have evolved from the simple first few chapters to the intricit plot we're knee-deep in now.

Summary: More maddening adventures!
Review: Book ten in the Series of Unfortunate Events has proven to be as clever, as bizarre and as maddening as the previous nine. Picking up from the cliffhanger of "The Carnivorous Carnival," the story opens with Klaus and Violet Baudelaire separated from their youngest sibling, Sunny. Their efforts to rescue her from the clutches of the evil Count Olaf make up the bulk of the book, but the writer mixes in his usual stew of subtle clues, blatant clues, false clues and major twists until the book ends with yet another cliffhanger. It's frustrating, to be sure, knowing we'll have to wait for "The Grim Graveyard," but it is a far cry better than some of the earlier, repetitive books like "The Reptile Room."To his credit, the writer is redeeming some of the poorer installments of the series by bringing in elements from those books and making them important now. Furthermore, he develops his young characters quite a bit, with Violet clearly becoming more of a young woman and Sunny becoming less of a baby. Unfortunately, he does not escape the trap of his poorly-drawn adult characters. As usual, they're all either evil or fools, with seemingly nothing in-between. Hopefully that will change if and when we finally meet the Volunteers... wherever they are.

Summary: Snicket's the Ticket!!!
Review: Remarkably, Lemony Snicket's tenth in his series of "Unfortunate Events" is one of the best. It's amazing, really, how fresh, clever and hilariously warped this series remains after all this time. And, as the Baudelaire children's peril increases, their relationships to one another -- and to us, the readers -- deepen. Their is real poignancy in "The Slippery Slope," which is perhaps the biggest suprise of all -- and Snicket handles it beautifully.

Summary: *Chinstroke*
Review: So, you've finished #9 and you want to read #10, eh? OH, HOW THE PLOT THICKENS!! I almost want to lower my rating, because of how Lemony Snicket reveals just enough information about VFD and many other things (If you've read the Unauthorized Autobiography there will be more than one time where you'll exclaim "aha!!") but he keeps you drooling for more. Who is this guy, anyway?? And when will the next book come out? Another great installment...finished it in 1 day! So, if you're one of the many unfortunate souls that have become treachorously hooked on these books, this will definantly be a good read! But, like the other reviews said, if you haven't read the other books, it will make little sense.

Summary: A Terrible and Wonderful Review
Review: To the Unfortunate Reader-
I am forced under terrible circumstances to write a review, considering that my circumstances are horrible. The Slippery Slope is another marvelously horrible book about Klaus, Sunny, and Violet Baudelaire, researched and recorded by Lemony Snicket himself. Once again, his books are marvelous, as well as they are horrible. The reason that I wish to give all of his books 5 stars is not because they are wonderful children's classics about dainty butterflies, but because they are filled with treachery, misery, and woe. His books are horrible, and I strongly urge you not to make the horrible mistake of purchasing any of them. However, if I could, I would give all of his books 100 stars, because they are horribly magnificent. Lemony Snicket is a brilliant writer, because his books show the life of the three Baudelaire children, struggling in dire situations to save their own lives. However, if you purchase any of his books, you will have yourself weeping for seemingly endless nights, just as I am sure Lemony Snicket is weeping about his beloved, departed, darling-Beatrice. If you do make the mistake of purchasing this book however, I urge you to wake to the top of Mount Fraut in the Mortmain Mountains and throw it as far away as you can into the endless gloom below. With that, I have finished this horrible review. But here is a poem- see if you can make any sense out of it: Misterious and subtle
Amazing and magnificent Xylphone and zippered Cracked and broken Ominous and profound
Luring and persuasive Energetic and effervescent
Mind boggling and curious Arsony and Fires
Negativity and silence -The World is Quiet Here

Summary: A great series keeps going
Review: I bought these books originally for my son, but I became hooked immediately. I thought this was one of the better of the series. The main story line is more developed in this book giving tantalzing clues to the ultimate denouement. I continue to enjoy Sunny's baby language and my son and I have spent some time with this book looking up the meanings of her "gibberish". He was astounded to learn that most of her utterings actually mean something. Lemony Snicket is a clever author and weaves poetry and other liteary generes into his books. I also appreciate that this is a finite series that is building to a climactic ending.

Summary: Impressive
Review: Slippery Slope #10 is just as impressive as Snicket's earlier books in this series. It has a great storyline and great characterization, much like the Harry Potter Books and The Adventures Of Archie Reynolds. I recommend it, as long as length is not an issue.
