Summary: The Slippery Slope
Review: The Slippery Slope
Written by: Lemony Snicket
This is the tenth book in "A Series of Unfortunate Events". The main characters include the Baudelaire children, Count Olaf, and Esme Squalor. Sunny is the youngest of the three Baudelaire orphans. She is only two years old but is courageous and demands independence from her siblings. Sunny has sharp teeth, a very limited vocabulary, and a strong will. Klaus is the middle child. He is 12 years old, loves to read, and is very intelligent. Violet is the eldest of the siblings and is 15 years old. She is imaginative and loves to invent things. Violet's inventions are well known among her admirers. Count Olaf is a wicked old villain who is out to get the Baudelaire's fortune. Esme is the evil girlfriend of Count Olaf. She is the "in and out girl". This means if it is in-style she'll embrace it, but if it is out she'll despise it.
The plot of the book is about the adventures of the Baudelaire children as they try to find out if one of their parents is still alive and try to find their kidnapped sister, Sunny. They encounter many obstacles and disappointments in their journey.
The setting takes place on the slippery slope of Mortmain Mountains. The mountains are freezing and are infested with evil insects called snow gnats. These insects will sting anything and everyone. It is a miserable place to be.
The theme of the book is about realistic trials and their outcomes. Unlike many stories this story does not have a happy ending.
I liked this book because it has unpredictable twists and turns. The author has a very unique style of writing! It will most definitely capture your attention.

Summary: THE BEST OF THEM ALL!
Review: This book is the best one of them all. It is full of suspense and excitement. The problems the Baudelairs face, and the things the reader learns are tremendous. Snicket is the best and I can't wait until books 11-13 come out!

Summary: unfortunate political science
Review: The Series of Unfortunate Events Series is wonderful. Anybody of any age can enjoy these and laugh. And as ridiculous as the stories are, I've actually started to care about these kids, which surprises me, actually. It will be very interesting by volume 13 to see how Mr. Snicket reconciles the cynicism with the end of the series. I mean, Count Olaf can't actually win in the end, can he? One reviewer didn't like a comment made in this volume about our current president....Well, you could look at it like this: Count Olaf and his henchmen and women are like George W. Bush and his administration. All the ineffectual or responsibility-shirking people who should help the orphans but don't are the democrats and the liberals. And who gets to be the Baudelaire orphans? You & me, baby, that's who: us working class people and we're just slippin' down that slippery slope faster and faster all the time. Does that help?

Summary: The Slippery Slope
Review: I thought that this book was one of the best in the series. The fact that Sunny had to be by herself helped me understand her more. But, if you don't like sad endings, I recomend you don't read this book.

Summary: Terrible stories...try Harry Potter instead
Review: I read the first one of these books and was horrified at the things that happened to these children from which no adult was able to protect them. I sometimes wonder why we jump on the bandwagon of anything that comes into print. At least in the Harry Potter series there are some genuinely good and effective adults as well as a young man who manages to outsmart the bad guys (most of the time).

Summary: AWESOME!!!
Review: If your tired of boring cinderella-type books with handsome princes and living happily -ever-after, this book is for you. Once again, you join the Baudalaire children in their quest to figure out the mysteries of V.F.D. But this book has a twist, Sunny gets older(T.T) and cooks, an amazing survivor of a fire, and (gasp!) like 5 seconds of romance. So, this book may be filled with evil grownups, bratty kids, and the many un-solved mysteries that surround the kids, but dude, this book rocks.

Summary: Slippery Slope
Review: This is the best book yet, besides the Austere Academy. It is a lot more interesting than the rest, because the sibilings actually meet up with someone who understands them, and can help: Quigley, the last of the Quagmire triplets.
Sunny's budding talent for cooking brings a new aspect into the story, as does the little hint of romance.
The rest of the books should be read first.
I would recomend The Series of Unfortunate Events to everyone, as they are hilarious, and sometimes very informative.
Happy reading.

Summary: Another fun adventure for readers
Review: This series is fantastic fun, and this book, though less zany than the Carnival or Academy, had interesting developments. My only complaint is that the author threw in an insulting reference to our current president and vice president which left a very sour taste in my mouth, and has slightly dampened my enthusiasm for the series. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading each book along with my 8 year-old, but I think politics - especially of the bashing kind - should be left out of children's books.

Summary: A way of describing
Review: What makes a book interesting is an author's own unique way of writing, and Lemony Snicket could definitely show it! His similes and metaphors crack me up, and it also increases my way of thinking when when you wonder how Violet could invent a way to slow down a caravan, to climb up a slippery slope, or to drag a whole tobaggan up! It makes you wonder how to decode a refrigerator with very fresh dill, mustard, boysenberry jam, and etc. Also, how could a sugar bowl be so important to risk a whole Baudelaire fortune? Lemony once again impresses me, and most of all, I enjoyed the resources and introduction given throughout the book. A definitely GREAT BOOK!!!
