Rating: Summary: The Series of Unfortunate Events: The Slippery Slope Review: If I could, I would give The Slippery Slope ten stars! Lemony Snicket is a clever and intriguing writer whose books are some of the greatest books I've ever read. If you haven't read any of the other books in the series, start with The Bad Beginning and go from there, so you will understand what's going on in the story. The Slippery Slope begins with two of the Baudelaire orphans, Violet and Klaus, hurtling down a mountain in a trailer, and the other Baudelaire orphan, Sunny, trapped in the villain's clutches. I was hooked on the book the moment I picked it up until I finished the last page. This book keeps readers curious and excited for what's going to happen next. Read to discover how the three children reunite, what long lost person they may meet, how they show their extraordinary skills, and how they manage to escape once again! I could read these stories over and over, and I can't wait for another thrilling, breathtaking story!
Rating: Summary: Best Series Next Book Review: I think the Slippery Slope, Lemony Snicket's(author)tenth well written book is great. This book was exciting til the very last word. I personally would give this book five stars. The fourteen year old Violet has very good inventing skills because she makes snow boots for her siblings to climb Mt.Fraught. Klaus the middle Baudelaire helps decode secrets of V.F.D and this helps make the story more interesting. As a reader I think it is hard to be patient because if you read the other books in the series; you will want to know who is the mysterious survivor. In this book Lemony Snicket well describes every bit of Count Olaf's schemes. You can clearly get a picture in your head about how the Baudelaires are feeling through their struggles with "Snow Gnats" and how they feel when their baby sister is taken away. I think the setting is very good in this story because it relates to why Count Olaf came to "Mortmain Mountains" and has a lot to do with secrets of V.F.D. Count Olaf and his troupes have very antagonist feelings towards the Baudelaire orphans. They make it difficult for the orphans. Therefore, I came to a conclusion that the "Slippery Slope" is a very good book and would deserve five stars.
Rating: Summary: Fantastic even Unfortunate Review: If you like happy, happy, happy stories, you shouldn't read it. This book is the best Unfortunate story I read so far. It is full of adventure of Baudelairs. I think that Sunny did a lot in this book after getting captured by Count Olaf. She is ordered to make foods which is mentioned good, clean up the car and lots more. In the middle of the story, old character (whom they didn't want to see her again) comes back and the Baudelairs meets the last Quagmire triplets. Snow gnats, new villans, Snow Scouts, many V.F.Ds, the last safest place, and more. It's a book you never want to miss reading it.

Rating: Summary: Number the Stars Review: I liked the book because it taught me about the history of WW2. The girl was my age.
Rating: Summary: Snicket does it again Review: Snicket weaves an intriguing tale of suspense, humor, mystery, and even a bit of romance in the latest installment of his thirteen-book saga. This volume describes the Baudelaire orphans' trials and tribulations in the Mortmain Mountains as they encounter various eccentric, well-read, and sinister personalities (not necessarily in that order). Handler manages to actually say, out in the open, details of the mystery of VFD without hitting you over the head with it. Introduction of new (and sometimes unexpected) characters both adds to the story and the suspense. In my opinion, this is one of the better books in the series.
Rating: Summary: AmAZING! Review: This book is a perfect blend of suspense, adventure, mystery, and humor. It makes you think ' Wait, doesn't that tie in from somewhere in the begining?' You will like the surprising twist. This is a sure page flipper. I cant wait for the next one!
Rating: Summary: 10th is best, so far...... Review: The tenth installment of the "series of unfortunate events" is a comepletely new and awesome adventure. There are so many twists and turns, it is almost unreal, with a shocking, almost u-turn twist in the middle. Once again, you get more light shed on the true meaning of VFD, but somehow, the organization is as mysterious as ever...... At the end, you want Snicket to release the next book more than ever. Not only does it leave you hanging on the edge, but it cuts off suddenly, as usual, right in the middle of another twisting climax.
Rating: Summary: How is it possible? Review: How is it possible? How can one author pull it off 10 times in a row? Magnificent. Lemony Snicket (if that's his true name) is brilliant the "The Slippery Slope." While the Baudelaires orphans try to figure out more information about their lost parents and discovering the true secrets behind the V.F.D, they also have to worry about getting their sister back from he clutches of the evil Count Olaf. So many twist and turn are thrown at the Baudelaire orphans, you cant seem to read it without thinking "how do they do it?" The tone of this book is supposed to be slightly depressing with a little humor. I highly recommend this book the anyone that can read. Excellent.
Rating: Summary: Lemony Snicket is amazing Review: This was an amazing book. Right from the begging it grabbed my attention because Lemony Sniket is a great writer. This book is full with mysterius situations and when you start reading it you can't put it down. This book would be great if you like adventure and suspense books.
