Summary: More tragedy and misery for the poor Baudelaire orphans
Review: Having narrowly escaped the dreadful Count Olaf, the three orphans are once again placed with another guardian by the clueless and inept Mr. Poe. This time it's Aunt Josephine, a dowdy woman who loves language and grammar (to the point of obsession) and who lives in a lonely house on a high hill overlooking the appropriately named Lake Lachrymose. When she disappears, leaving only a note behind, the kids sense the diabolical presence of Count Olaf behind it, and race to save poor Aunt Josephine.Once again, Snicket provides the goods, blending dark humor, bad jokes, literary references, and heart-stopping suspense. There's a neat plot twist involving the note Aunt Josephine left for the kids, and once more, they employ their talents to foil the evil Count. At this point, there seems to be a pattern developing in these books--kids go to a new guardian, who falls victim to Count Olaf, and the kids narrowly escape his treachery. But keep reading--each story builds into the next, and what may seem trivial in one story may be crucial in the following book. The ongoing plot thread adds many layers as it progresses from book to book, and part of the fun is trying to figure out where it will go from here.

Summary: Snicket's the Ticket!
Review: If like myself, you would like to create a young book vaccuum in your home, get the Wide Window! Lay it about, and you may catch some little hands grabbing it up and some little eyes scanning it--- the whole thing! Caricatures here include grammar fanatic Aunt Josephine, whose fear of the oven causes her to serve nothing but cold cucumber soup in the dead of winter. Baby Sunny is back, complete with hilarious subtitles. ("by Toi !, she probably meant 'I have never eaten a peppermint, because I suspect that I, like my siblings, am allergic to them' ".) Count Olaf returns, albeit in a transparent disguise, which Snicket reminds us does not mean wrapped in plastic, or covered with glass. Snicket's liberal use of vocabulary (futile, dowager, Lachrymose, concoction, surreptiously) and his explanations thereof, makes this entire series a winner with this parent. And my young reader likes it too!

Summary: A Wide Window
Review: ... I like these books for my brother because they include vocabulary lessons and that is so important. The stories are very entertaining but starting to get predictable. I am starting to read them so fast now because I know how things are going to happen. The Wide Window is so far the best of the series. Its exciting and their adventure is tops. I do think kids will enjoy this series but the same ol plot is starting to wear thin and i am only on book 4!! My brother who is 12 also likes the books. I hope he will still like them and read all nine

Summary: Great Book!!!!
Review: I have read all of the books so far and so have all of my friends most of us find the books great!
In this book, the children move in with their Aunt Josefina who is afrid of everything! She is also a grammer freak. She pertends to jumps out the window but is really alive. She leaves the kids to Captain Sham and he almost gets them. It is a very good story in all.
The only thing that I do not like about these books is that Mr. Poe gets to be a pain when he never believes the poor children that Count Olaf is really Count Olaf!

Summary: Book Review
Review: Assuming that this book would be as successful as the first two, I picked it up at the bookstore. I couldn't wait to read what unfortuante event was going to happen next for these three orphans. An aunt afraid of everything?! That IS terribly unfortunate!
The characters (once again) are Violet, Claus, and Sunny. They are the three orphans that have an evil man chasing after their tails and their fortune. This time, they end up with their Aunt Josephine, who is afraid of practically anything. That means she's afraid of stoves, telephones, and even realtors!
I really like this book becuase the plot is mysterious and exciting. I love the suspense when they try to decode the letter and found out what it actually meant. It just hit me! This book's conculsion jumps out at you with an amazing...SUPRISE!!!
