Summary: Top of my Lemony Snicket Scale
Review: This is a great book. I think it just might of been the best book I've ever read, but maybe not quite. I give all of Lemony Snicket's pieces a rating. This is my scale: The Bad Beginning O.K., The Reptile Room great, The Wide Window horrible, The Miserable Mill fabulous, The Austere Academy Excellent, The Ersatz Elevator wonderful, The Vile Village marvelous, The Hostile Hospital O.K, and The Carnivorous Carnival was a masterpiece. When my mom purchased it for me my face lit up. I was so happy.But if I had to criticize Lemony Snicket for anything, my criticism would be to revise The Wide Window thoughtfully and carefully. The plot to this story was fabulous. Madame Lulu reveals a secret about herself that can change the Baudelaire's life in the end unless the sequal differs. I am anxiously waiting for The Slippery Slope comes out: I will like to find out how two of the Baudelaires survive without one of their siblings in a caravan full of freaks, where Count Olaf will appear again, and if the sibling manages to survive. I recommend that you readThe Carnivorous Carnival.

Summary: Back in the Belly of the Beast
Review: When we last left the Baudelaire orphans at the cliff-hanging ending of the 8th book in the Series of Unfortunate Events series, The Hostile Hospital, Sunny, Klaus and Violet were hiding in bullet hole-ridden trunk of Count Olaf's car on their way to parts unknown. As it so happens, the orphans are out of the frying pan into the fire in this new book, a phrase that herein means, "have gone from one bad situation where Violet was barely saved from certain unnecessary surgery, into a possible worse one by hiding in the trunk of the Count's car."The count, as it turns out, is barreling off with his troope of odd characters to the tent of Madame Lulu the fortune teller, who lives far out in the Hinterlands. Like other books in this Unfortunate Series, the orphans continue to be in mortal peril (a phrase that herein means "dreadful danger") as they avoid the clutches of Count Olaf. Managing to disguise themselves as carnival freaks, they take up residence in Madame Lulu's freak show aside a humpback, a contortionist and a very glum ambidexterous fellow who can use either hands equally well. Madame Lulu, who may not be all that she appears to be, has mysteriously always provided the Count with information about the Baudelaire trio, which finally explains how exactly he always knows where they are and how to find them. She drops hints that one of the orphan's parents may have survived the fire that apparently killed them back in book #1 (The Bad Beginning), and she gets oh-so-close to explaining the true meaning of VFD, and readers of the series and of Mr. Snicket's unauthorized biography are lead tantalizingly close to the answers for which they've sought about VFD and why Count Olaf, Jaques Snicket and Madame Lulu have tattoos or insignia of an eye on or about them. Pieces of the puzzle are just beginning to fit together, but not...quite... This is, of course, the ninth book in the series, and Mr. Snicket gives us some hints, as he always does, at the end of the story to the next book in the series, which I assume will be called "The Slippery Slope." Readers who have read up to this point will be delighted and enthralled by the mysteries that peek out here and there throughout the book, like prarie dogs peeking out of their burrows before quickly disappearing again. If you have not yet read books 1-8 in the series, it is recommended that you do so before attacking "Carnivorous Carnival", as much of what happens in this story won't make sense if you've not been following the sad lives of the Baudelaire orphans since the beginning. From this quiet part of the world ;) this reviewer and constant reader of the Series highly recommends this and other books in the series.

Summary: Dreadfully great!!!!
Review: This book was my second favorite in the series, The Slippery Slope being first,(there is only ten out right now.) This is also my second favorite series, Harry Potter being my favorite series.
Fyi: *the movie is supposed to come out in September or October* *the authors real name is not Lemony Snicket, it is just the name he writes under* *There is going to be thirteen books(unlucky number)* *There is always thirteen (unlucky number) chapters in his books* *This series rocks*
If you do not want to know the plot of the story, then do not read the rest of my review.
Who: The three main characters in all the books are Sunny, Klause, and Violet.
When: This book takes place during modern times.
Where: This story takes place at a carnival.
pro's: We find out how Count Olaf always knows where the siblings go, we figure out what the eye stands for, and we know where the V.F.D headquarters is (just to name a few.)
con's: There simply weren't any!
***To make this book more enjoyable you should read the books in order***

Summary: A Series of Unfortunate Events #9
Review: This story was one of the best books I've ever read. I found myself staying up all night reading it. It's about 3 sibs, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny. They've been running from an evil man named Count Olaf. He's been finding the children by asking a fortuneteller who seems to always get the right answers. Now the 3 sibs are in disguise as a 2 headed freak and a half wolf half baby named, Chabo the Wolf Baby, in a freak house at the Caligari Carnival. Then Count Olaf buys a bunch of lions to put in a pit and guess which freak has to jump in with the lions.
I loved this book because it's really suspenseful, especially when Violet, and Klaus were about to jump to the lions. I really like this author's style of writing. I could really picture the carnival. Compared to the other books in the series this one's my favorite. I rate it 5 stars, because I liked it a lot, and it had great suspense.

Summary: The Best Book
Review: The Carnivorous Carnival is a great book as well as the whole series. In each book Count Olaf disguises himself as someone different, then tries to kill the kids owners and capture the Baudelaire fortune.
In this particular book, Violet, Claus, and Sunny are in the trunk of his car and find costumes for their disguises. They are dressed up as a two-headed person and a baby wolf. They are at a carnival and are part of the freak show. Olaf finds out who they really are and wants to throw them in a pit of hungry lions. Violet creates an escape but does it work? To know the rest you'll have to read the book. Though it seems very violent, and the author does go on a bit about his personal life, it's a REALLY great book for anyone, whether you like to read or not. I recommend this book and the entire series to everyone, and whoever doesn't like it probably didn't even give it a chance. So be sure to read this great series (preferably from the first book on).

Summary: one of th best
Review: The Carnivorous Carnival is definently one of the best Lemony Snicket books i have ever read. This time the kids hitch a ride in the back off Count Olafs car to the Hinterlands. I the story the kids desquise themselves from him as freaks. Sunny dresses up as a wolf baby and Violet and Klaus dress as a two headed person. throughout the story the kids end up finding out something they really want to know but dont find out if it is 100% true. the end of this story is the most sad of them all. so i think that yu should read the book to find out what turns out to happen in the end.

Summary: The Greatest book of the Series so far
Review: In A Series of Unfortunate Events, The Carnivorous Carnival, the Baudelaire children must find the meaning of V.F.D. and see if one of their parents is still alive. At first, the Baudelaire children must disguise themselves in order to blend in. They disguise themselves as a two-headed person and a wolf baby.
In the carnivorous carnival, Count Olaf and his gang ask Madam Lulu (the fortune-teller) to tell them where the Baudelaires are and more. To get Madam Lulu to tell them more, Count Olaf has to bribe her by buying lions for her to use in the show. While the Baudelaires are at the carnival, Violet and Klaus are the two-headed freak (Beverly and Elliot) and Sunny is the Wolf baby (Chabo). While they are there they meet the other freaks named Kevin (ambidextrous), Hugo (hunchback), and Colette contortionist). Also, Count Olaf has decided that each time the crowds came, they would take out a piece of paper to decide who would be thrown into the lion pit. To find out who will be thrown into the pit, you'll have to read this exciting book.
