Summary: Oh! My Goodness!
Review: My little brother likes these books, so one day I decided to pick one up. I immediately became hooked. But this one is just so weird! It's not at all like the other ones. but it is definitely the best. I felt The Carnivorous Carnival was something of a letdown. But this returns full swing to the classic Lemony Snicket goodness. But this one IS a little weird, don't you think? I mean, it's not as unfortunate, SO many secrets are revealed, they meet the fire survivor (I'm not sayin' who), and there are some hidden morals and meanings that some kids wouldn't pick up. It shown the determination that Klaus and Violet had when Sunny was kidnapped in the previous book. I love this one. It's the best one since Vile Village!

Summary: The Slippery Slope
Review: The Slippery Slope is about three siblings, the Baudlelaires, trying to solve mysteries about VFD (a secret organization that the siblings' parents were apart of), Count Olaf (an evil man show who tries to kidnap the orphans), their presumed dead parents, and many more. This book is apart of a ten book series, and this is the tenth book. The previous book in this series ended talking about how the Baudlelaire orphans are going to the Valley of Four Drafts, looking to find the headquarters of VFD and hopefully their parents. On the way up the mountains, they figure out that the evil Count Olaf has captured one of the Baudlelaire siblings, Sunny, and is going to burn down the VFD headquarters. Also, he's going to keep Sunny to finally have the Baudlelaire fortune (which he has been trying to get his hands on since the very first book in the series.) In my opinion, the Slippery Slope is a great book. It has so much action and humor, and it will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page. I recommend this excellent book to anyone who wants adventure and mystery in their life. Will Count Olaf capture the Bauldelaire siblings? Will Sunny ever escape from Count Olaf? Will the orphans finally solve the mystery of VFD? Read this book and find out!

Summary: MiSs.OoOo!
Review: The Slippery Slope by Lemony Snicket is a nice adition to the series of Unfortunate Events. In this book, the Baudelaires are seperated in the beginning. Using Violet's superb, mechanical mind and Klaus's amazing knowledge of books and words, they get through many problems. Only this time that had alittle help from Quigley Quagmire- the triplet everyone thought was dead. Quigley had amazing information on V.F.D that he picked up traveling in the footsteps of the Baudelaires. My favorite part in the book was when they escaped from the clutches of Count Olaf and his evil crew when Carmelita Spatz attempted to push them off the mountain. Although there was a tragic ending (as always) that i won't reveal, I know we'll be hearing more about the adventurous yet sad life of the Baudelaires. Lemony Snicket is an extremely talented author who makes it easy to understand what's going on in his stories by using situations that relate to us. His books have opened my mind and made me think about what he is trying to communicate to us. It's amazing how everything he writes fits in so well and all makes sense. I really enjoy reading Lemony Snicket and I encourage you to read all of his books!

Summary: don't read this book under any circumstances
Review: Just kidding. Although the author warns the reader amply against reading this book, I don't happen to agree. But do read at least a few Snicket books first, so you'll have some idea of what's going on (this is the latest in a long series). Briefly, it continues the adventures of the hapless Baudelaire orphans, Sunny, Klaus and Violet. The last two are separated from their baby sister Sunny, who is forced to cook and clean for Count Olaf's troop on a snowy mountain. Meanwhile Violet and Klaus meet a surprising companion who helps them further decode the mystery of VFD. They get closer to solving the questions of whether one of their parents survived in the fatal fire of Book One. Oh, and the nastiest girl in the world Carmelita Spats from "The Austere Academy" makes an appearance. Little does she know, she might soon be in the Baudelaire's shoes - an expression which means "in a very unpleasant similar situation."

Summary: The Slippery Slope
Review: The Slippery Slope
by: Lemony Shicket
Period: 1 In this book, Klaus and Violet get separated from Sunny Baudelaire, the yougest child. Violet likes is an inventor, and she always keeps her haor tie when she is thinking of an invention. Klaus is a reader. He loves to read, and his reading education always seems to help the Baudelaire children when they are in trouble. Violet thinks of a plan to stop the moving vehicle. Then theu colllect the items they thought they needed on start to walk. They follow the river, which had fish in them. The fish looked like they were coughing because of heavy smoke. Snow knats attack them. These knats sting them, and they keep away from the smell of smoke. Klaus and Violet find shelter in a cave. Inside they meet the Snow Scouts. They were on a Snow Scout hike, going to the Spring Pole. They see one person mysteriously connunicating with the Baudelaire children. They know that each other were doing the same thing: looking for VFD. Sunny on the other hand is kidnapped by Count Olaf and his horrible team. She is forced to cook, and she sleeps in the trunk of the car. She does spying, and she learns that these two wicked people burned down the secret hideout of VFD. They have the Snicket File, which can prove that the Baudelaire orphan's father or mother were alive. It was the proof of the fire that had killed their parents and burned down their home. Violet miraculously saves the Baudelaire children and Quigley, the other triplet of Baudelaire's friends. They slide down the frozen waterfall on a tobaggon. They get separated in the raging river. Quigey went to the other side of the fork, while the Baudelaire children went to the other side. In this book, I like the quote, "...and we're not leaving without her." Klaus said this, and he said that after Violet and Quigley came bak down from the waterfall where they went to find Sunny. Klaus wanted his sister, and he said this. It showed that he cared, and that he was determined to get his sister back. Violet let her stay with Count Olaf because she wanted to do more spying, and Sunny said that now, she was a big girl. If they had taken Sunny, Count Olaf would've been suspicious. They leave her there, and Klaus said this boldly. He loved his sister, and she cared for him as well. "...accomodating, basic, calm, darling, emblematic, frisky, grinning, human, innocent, jumping, kept, limited, meek, nap-loving, official, pretty, quarantined, recent, scheduled, tidy, understandable, victorious, wholesome, xylophone, young, zippered." This is what the Snow Scouts say they are. They say that to people they meet, and to describe themsleves or something else. They say that they are these things, but then Klause realizes that some of them don't make snese. No one can be xylophone. They say that that is the only word that starts with an "x," but then Klaus says that they can be xenial. Then Bruce, the Snow Scouts troop leader says that they cannot change the pledge. I liked this quote because it makes me laugh. They have a word that starts with every letter of the alphabet, and they use them to describe themselves. It was a good part because it is funny. I liked this part of the book. My favorite part of the book was when Violet thinks of inventions very quickly. She ties up her hair, and in a few minutes, she thinks of an invention they need with the supplies they have. One time she saves them from getting pushed off a cliff. She hops onto a tobaggon, and the other children follow, Then the slide down the frozen waterfall. They make it out in time, just to find more tradegy in front of them. They unfortunatley get separated. Another part in the book that I like was when Quigley, Klaus, and Violet come cross a device that locks the door to VFD. They have to answer three questions to open it. They each use their masteries to help open the lock. Violet used her skills of all the famous scientists, Quigley with his mapping brains, and Klaus who used a book to solve one of the questions. These were my favorite parts.

Summary: One of my favorite Unfortunate Events book!
Review: The Slippery Slope is exciting, action packed, funny, and heartwarming. With such intriguing lines of study to follow and extreme stunts performed with grace by the Bauldinares, I loved each page more than the last. However, I find that unlike most books, the more you read The Slippery Slope, the less you understand it. Reading this story once should content you, or else you will be swept up in the story and confused by hearing things too many times.
