Summary: A MYSTERY FOR THE HEART AND SOUL
Review: Hello book buyer welcome to my review, I have read all of the Lemony Snicket that have been released. I consider this book the cream of the crop. You have your basic villan (Count Olaf) and the three Baudelaire children, Sunny, Klaus, and Violet.When Mr. Poe (the manager of the childrens affairs says that they will be living with a distant uncle, his anme is Uncle Monty the children love him. He is a scientist that studies snakes. The children truly love thier new parent when Count Olaf shows up being as phony as ever. He says he is the new lab partner, Stephano. The rest of this book you can figure out for yourself. I just know this Mr. Snicket will go down in history as a great book writer for children to adaults. It is a masterpiece!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: great book!!
Review: The Reptile Room is a good book. I liked this book because it had many exciting parts that made you sit at the edge of your chair waiting to turn the page. I also enjoyed this book because I don't always like everything great happening. I like it when bad things happen too. This is a good book for all ages.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Reptile Room
Review: In this book, "The Reptile Room", the three unlucky Baudelaire orphans Violet, Klaus, and Sunny are sent to live with yet another relative. This time, it's Uncle Monty, the herpetologist. While staying with Uncle Monty, the orphans sense something suspitious about Stephano, Uncle Monty's assistant. Can Violet, Klaus, and Sunny save themselves before it's too late? I loved this book and would recommend it to anyone because it's unlike any other. Each page leaves you in suspense. I could never stop reading! On a scale of 1 to 10, this book is definatly a 10! Whether you enjoy mystery, thriller, or fantasy, you should read "The Reptile Room."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Horrible events humorously told
Review: I wish I could say that I'm only twelve years old and that I look forward another sixty years of reading more and more chapters of the "unfortunate events" perpetrated on Violet, Klaus and Sunny. But, alas, I'm nearly fifty and am pretty sure that I won't have much more than 30-35 good years ahead of me to read these great stories.

But that will have to do. I just hope Lemony Sickett, whoever he may be, will keep writing them because they're funny, clever and filled with droll insights that will entertain the twelve year olds and any adult who likes a well written and entertaining story. My greatest regret is that my children are all mostly grown and I won't be able to read these stories to them. There are enough chills and delightfully horrible events to keep the dullest kids happily entertained. My youngest, a 15 year old, is peeved at me right now because I've taken too long to read the Reptile Room--he loved the first volume.

Furthermore, my 24 year old daughter (who also teaches 2nd grade) keeps bugging me to read it, so that the 15 year old can read it, so that she can get her hands on it.

The bottom line is that these stories are perfect for young readers, but they're great for anyone else who is looking for some innocently wicked good fun.

The drawings by Brett Helquist, a fellow Utahn, are terrific.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sad ending, but great book!
Review: This book is fantastic, and I just finished reading it for the 6th time. The Baudelaires go live with their Uncle Montgomery Montgomery (his first name is also his last name) and things are WONDERFUL!! But then Stephano (Count Olaf in disguise) shows up and starts threatening the children. Lemony Snicket almost had me crying in the end...it was sooooo sad, but it was a GREAT book! And hilarious! You have to read it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Outstanding!
Review: "Outstanding" is a term which, when used here means"really, good, great, entertaining - and more than initially meets the eye." Be sure to read the dedications - and as the volumes continue: what, if anything, did Cout Olaf have to do with Beatrice? Why is the writer "compelled" to write this tale?I am sure the answers to these questons will be revealed as the saga continues... For me, money very well-spent for an entertaining, well-written, totally-original two hour read. Those of you who haveread the books will understand the structure of my first sentence.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Reptile Room
Review: Violet, Klaus, and Sunny are back in the Reptile Room belonging to a relative named Uncle Monty, (full name is Montgomery Montgomery) who has a huge house near Lousy Lane. Uncle Monty is a scientist who studies snakes. All four are going to Peru to study snakes. Uncle Monty's assistant, Gustav surprisingly quit and a new assistant named Stephano, will take his place. The children easily recognize him as someone they met in the past. Could it be Count Olaf, could it be one of the members in his Theater Troupe, or could it really be a real Stephano. Read the book and find out.

Rating: 5 stars
