Summary: A Series of Unfortunate Events, The Austere Academy
Review: This book is called: A Series Of Unfortunate Events, The Austere Academy, by Lemony Snicket and I recommend this book because... Well just listen and you'll find out. Its setting describes an apartment that is forty-eight of eighty-four stories high, what is soon to be their new home. But before I go on, I will give you a quote told by the author, Lemony Snicket. "If you have just picked up this book, then it is not too late to put it back down. Like the previous books in A SERIES OF UNFORUNARE EVENTS, there is nothing to be found in there pages but misery, despair, and you still have time to choose someth ing else to read." Mr. Poe, a man who has helped them since their parents died, has to go to find their friends who Count Olaf has kidnapped, so he has to leave early and is unable to go on with them. Oh, and by the way, the elevator is OUT, so it is out of order. You'll find out what I mean when you read the book, so read it!!

Summary: Not all Stories Have a Happy Ending
Review: A Review by Orion

In the fifth book of, "A Series of Unfortunate Events, by Lemony Snicket," Count Olaf has once again found the Baudelaire orphans. Now Sunny, Violet and Klaus must find out what sinister plans Count Olaf has this time, and how they can stop him from stealing the Baudelaire fortune. What's more is that now they have a horrible Carmelita Spats, and vice Principal Nero terrorizing and making crude punishments for them. Will the horrors never end at "The Austere Academy?"

In this book I like how it describes each of the main characters. When Lemony Snicket describes Carmelita Spats, he starts off by saying,"If you were to give a gold medal to the most undelightful person on Earth, it would have to go to Carmelita Spats."
Another thing I like about "The Austere Academy" is how it's the only story to not have a happy tale. If you read the summary on the back of the book it tells you, "If you were looking for a story about three happy youngsters, look else where." The only down fall to this book is that the level of reading was very easy. The hardest word in this book was "veranda," and the book even tells you what it means.

I would recommend this book to people you don't mind an unhappy ending. This is an extremely easy book to follow with moderately hard words. Still over all it is great book.
I would give this book 4 out of 5 stars.

Summary: the monsterous monster and the ingenious inventor
Review: count olaf is back again, lookin good, and keeping up his disgusting disguises and evil schemes. this time he has running equipment to so he can escape from mr. poe-an idiotic banker who is atually a sweet man , but refuses to believe the baudelaires that coach gengis is count olaf, until he runs away kidnapping the quagmire triplets, [ the baudelaires best friends in prufrock prepatory] who help them escape from coach gengis and find themselves trapped with him. beware nasty carmelita spats because she is a cake sniffing girl and may give you a nasty nickname.

i am the biggest fan of violet baudelaire, the ingenious inventor, who, in ths book, invents a stapling device from ingriedients used in a side dish and also invents noisy shoes to avoid her siblings to get stubbed on their toe by terriotrial crabs living in the orphan shack.

also in this book, mr. snicket describes Isadora's feeling towards Klaus, Klaus's feeling towards Isadora, and Violet and Duncans feeling towards each other which makes the books warm, pleasant, friendly and lovely even though it is filled with misfortune, misfortune and more misfortune. in this book too, the secret of the three mysterious intials called VFD are opened like the chamber of secrets, which tempts the reader, how ever hard mr. snicket warns them not to be tempted, to by the rest of the books in the series. this is what we call excellent marketing.

let alone marketing, lemony snicket uses such interesting words and nice pharses that make you laugh even though the tale is wrapped with woe.mr snicket also improved my vocablury with words like cakesniffing, somniferous, etc. so, when you run across a lemony snicket book, grab a copy quikly, you will know that you have made the right choice.

Summary: Funny and dismal: The best book in the series!
Review: The Baudelaire orphans, Violet, Sunny, and Klaus, are still on the run from the evil Count Olaf when Mr. Poe, a banker that isn't doing a very good job finding them appropriate legal guardians, sends them to Prufrock Academy. They quickly learn that this school is a very Austere Academy. Because they are orphan they are forced to live in an orphan shack, a tiny little tin hut with tiny human biting crabs and drippy fungus on the ceiling. Violet and Klaus must attend boring classes and since Sunny is too young to go to school, she is made an administrative assistant. To make matters worse Count Olaf is back in the disguise of a gym teacher and he has horrible schemes planned for them. The orphans cannot defeat him on their own but maybe with the help of a new pair of orphans they can. But don't think that this book has a happy ending.

This book is definitely the best so far of the series. Bigger story arcs are starting to develop and new characters have appeared. Strangely enough my favorite part of this book is a page in a half section where the author starts to tell the readers how he and his deceased wife Beatrice are connected to the evil Count Olaf. I can't wait to read the next book in this series. I recommend this book to all fans of a Series of Unfortunate Events.

Summary: The Austere Academe
Review: Again and again these children are forced to live with another caretaker, Violet, Klaus and little Sunny are the miserable children. In the first book of the 13 series their parents had been killed in a fire and their children had been forced to live with their first relative named Count Olaf. Now you probably think Count Olaf is a nice man but he is actually an evil man.
He plans on stealing the Baudelaire fortune by following them everywhere, which tends to get very annoying. Violet is an inventor and looks out for her brother and little sister Klaus and Sunny. Also when Violet is thinking of an invention she ties her hair back so it's out of her eyes. Klaus loves to read, when someone says library he starts asking questions like 'where is this so called library' or "How many books are in it'. Sunny the baby loves to look at books with pictures that have teeth in it.
The story begins with their new caretaker vice principal Nero with his strict personality and mimics them when they ask him a question. Coach Gencions or should I say Count Olaf plans a scheme once again to steal the fortune by making them run laps in the front of the school until they are tired and can't breath. At the cafeteria they meet Duncan and Isadora that help them in their time of need. But then again Count Olaf escapes. And Violet, Klaus and Sunny are still miserable throughout the way. Also
Where ever they may hide or run Count Olaf will find them. People that are interested in the series of Unfortunate Events books or mystery this book is right for you.

Summary: The Baudelaires book 5
Review: The author of The Austere Academy is Lemony Snicket. Every book in the whole series is always dreadful and mischievous. At the same time it is full of action. The main characters are Klaus, Sunny, and Violet Baudelaire, and Count Olaf .The Baudelaire's are always against Count Olaf and he is always following them, so he can steal the fortune their dead parents left behind. This book takes place at a boarding school. In the book Count Olaf is after the fortune again! This time he is a gym teacher, while the Baudelaires are forced to live in the Orphans Shack instead of where all the other students live. Count Olaf asks the Baudelaires to run laps at night instead of sleeping so they get so tired they get expelled. Will they get expelled or not?
I like this book and all of the books in the series. I liked this one especially because the Baudelaire's meet the Quagmires and they helped the Baudelaires. I also liked it because in this book and all the others in the series, so far there is never a happy ending. I like not having a non-happy ending because it isn't what you would expect from a book. I also like it because there are two enemies instead of one. One of them is Count Olaf (Duh), and Vice Principal Nero. Vice Principal Nero is the principal of Prufrock Prep.
The theme of this book is to be brave no matter where you are or what condition you are in. I think the theme is bravery because if you want to live your troubles if you are rich you still have to be brave.
I definitely recommend this book or even the whole series for someone looking for a book that is beyond the ordinary. This book is out of the ordinary because there is more than you expect from a book, in this book. This book is out of the ordinary because everything doesn't seem like a book it seems like a real life adventure that never ends.

Summary: The Austere Academy is an AWESOME book!!!!
Review: Lemony Snicket once again puts his creative thougths together and comes up with the fifth great book in A Series of Unfortunate Events. The Austere Academy is filled with funky characters that will amaze and sometimes even disturb you! Such as the clueless Mr. Poe who can never see that the evil Count Olaf is right under his nose in pathetically-put-together-disguises. The imagination of the unthinkable is described in details that makes you feel as if you're experiencing the unfortunate events yourself! Like the room the Baudelaire orphans are forced to stay in. It's a small shack with terrible wall paper that will make your eyes water, obnoxious crabs that will make your toes ache, and dripping goo that will disgust you in every way!!! The more you read into Lemony Snicket's books the deeper your feelings will become for each unique character. This is definitely a-must-read-book!!!!!

Summary: Review of The Austere Academy
Review: I just finished third grade and love to read books in series. The Austere Academy was one of my favorites in this series, and I have read them all! I can't wait to read the 10th book this fall when it is available! I liked No. 5 because the Quagmire triplets were in some of the same situations as the Baudelaire children - they also were orphans and had a fortune that Count Olaf was trying to pilfer. There were more unfortunate events in this book than others. What I thought was the funniest was when Sunny had to work as a secretary and make her own staples! The orphans are also forced to attend preparatory school where they must listen to a 6-hour violin program where a person who does not know how to play is the performer. They also have to do S.O.R.E., which Count Olaf says stands for Special Orphan Running Exercises. I highly recommend this book and the others in the series!

Summary: Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: In this book the Baudelaire are faced with numerous of situations that can change there lifes forever. They must once agein try proving count ofal's identity, run laps every night, pass many exams, and still manage to sleep. But, with the help of there friends, the two Quagmire triplets, they manage to survive. Until something terrible happenes to Quagmire triplets, thanks to there own forturn, and coach Genghis.

I think this book is the best in its series, this is because it has a little bit of everything in it, and you can relate to it more than the other books. This is because, it is all about the
having to deal with unfairness, and I am sure we all think we have that. But from werid teachers, to even bullys, the Baudelaires have another adventure that is worth reading, so go and read this book I'm sure you woun't put it down!
