Summary: A feeling of deja vu... a feeling of deja vu..... a feelin..
Review: The ninth, and yet another worthy entry in the venerable series. In the Carnivorous Carnival, Snicket seems to be taunting us with possible hints to solve the mystery. But by the end of the book, I don't think I'm much closer to figuring it out. Aside from the usual black humor and wordplay, Snicket throws in a creative joke about deja vu, and a funny story within a story at one point. I was disappointed in the climax, since it seemed to go on for too long with too much dialogue. But the book ends with the biggest cliffhanger so far in the series. Kudos!

Summary: Repetitive, Boring, Lame
Review: AHH, the Baudelaires are threatened to be killed by Count Olaf again! This has been the same plot for all nine books and it is SO BORING! For every book, Lemony Snicket has given readers the same problem: Klaus, Violet and Sunny are running away from their enemy and getting themselves in preposterous situations that would not really happen in every day life. This is because there is a little thing now I like to call "child abuse laws" and nobody could pull anything like Count Olaf and his troup. The situation is so bleak it is not even believable for a novel. It is like he is just pumping out novel after novel of the Series of Unfortunate Events just to make money and make people afraid of other evil people.
YAWN...

Summary: Enjoyable Entry in the Series
Review: I'm an adult reader who really enjoys this inventive series. The CARNIVOROUS CARNIVAL is another terrific entry - much better than #8 in the series ("The Hostile Hospital"). This time around, the Beaudelaires are chasing Count Olaf in order to get information about VFD and the potential whereabouts of their parents. They disguise themselves to hide from Count Olaf and his troup. It's a great twist in the series, although I really liked the early entries where the family was sent to live with a different foster parent each time. Overall, however, this book is another great entry in a series of excellent books. Highly recommended for young readers as well as adults who enjoy well-written, darkly humorous books.

Summary: I recommend this book to everyone!
Review: Snicket has done it again with this timeless classic. This book will have you at the edge of your seat in suspense, and on the floor laughing. Out of all of his books this has to be his best. I am waiting now for his tenth book, The Slippery Slope. I think that this book would be great for not just children, but for a young adult also. The summary of the book is our three orphans, Violet (14, an inventor), Klaus (13-it was his 13th birthday in The Vile Village-a pretty much all around genius that loves to read), and Sunny (a baby who loves to use her sharp teeth to bite things), have lost their parents in a tradgic fire and are sent to live with a distant relative. This relative is Count Olaf, a greedy man that will do anything for the Baudelaire fortune. Finally though, the children leave Olaf, but he always seems to show up where ever they go. Now, the children are hiding in Olafs trunk, when he and his acting crew stop they get out and realize they are at a carnival. Now they dress up as freaks and try to solve the arousing mystery until all gos wrong. We then end this tale when Violet and Klaus are about to fall to their death... This book is great, and if you want to know what happens read book ten, The Slippery Slope comming out in Fall 2003 or read the rest of these great books, you won't be sorry you did.

Summary: A Great Read!
Review: This book is excellent! I have read every book in the series, and this is probably my favorite. Even though I am 13 (a tad bit older than other readers), I enjoyed the unpredictable plot and constant witty humor. I also enjoyed the action that forced me to keep reading. All of my friends think I am crazy for reading a child's book, but the content isn't childish at all. I strongly reccomend this book for anyone that enjoys humor, action, and great plots. Also, the tons of unusual vocabulary is great for anyone studying for the SAT's :)

Summary: Harry Potter without magic.
Review: This has all of the evil villains, surprising twists, and exiting plots that a teenager could ever ask for. With a wearwolf chasing them and a two headed freak right on their tail, their sure to be in for it. This book was the best in the series yet, but I still don't know what VFD stands for, I don't know when it'll be on, but I'm ready to find out!
The way that Count Olaf as been finding out where the Baudalaires are is by this mysterious fortune teller who seems to always know everything! Also, make sure you read the rest of the eight horroble books in this horrible series or you're not going to know what this book is about! Also, if you have to have HAPPY endings DON'T get these books!

Summary: The Carnivorous Carnival
Review: This book was honestly the most awesome book in the series. But the events were the worst of all the books. This book is about three siblings: Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire. The book begins when the three children are inside the trunk of an evil man, Count Olaf's, trunk. Inside the car with Count Olaf is his associates and his girlfriend, Esme Squalor. Then, the car stops in Caligari Carnival, a dark carnival that looks like it hasn't been in use for a long time. From then on, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny put on disguises to trick Count Olaf, his girlfriend, and his theater troupe so that they can survive during the awful event. In this book are several new characters, including: Madame Lulu, Colette, Kevin, Hugo, and Olivia. Overall, this book was the most riveting, dark, and amazing book in A Series of Unfortunate Events.

Summary: This Book is Great!!
Review: Lemony Snickets books are full of mystery and suspense. That's why I like to read them. His books are really hard to put down. The endings leave you hanging on a string and you have to get the sequel. So far he has written nine books and is on his tenth. I can't wait for it to come out. Over the year at John Winthrop I have read the ninth book. The title is "The Carnivores Carnival". Out of all of his books in "The Series of Unfortunate Events" this book has had the most suspense. Some people have read the first book and stopped because they couldn't get into the book. But, I didn't stop because the way he ended the books you couldn't stop reading them. The Carnivores Carnival is about three children who have the worst life you could ever possibly imagine. Their life is miserable. There is something bad waiting around every turn. In every book they find a clue on what they are trying to find out. They have come close to it but it has never been correct and their lives still stay miserable. What makes the book funny is that while Lemony Snicket writes the book he brings up things from the past in his life and thinks of everything in the book to be real. Hopefully the tenth book will come out this summer so I can get to read that book. Lemony Snickets books are great. by Aleaha
