Summary: HUGE hole in book
Review: This book is the biggest in the series to recieve the Lemony Snicket formula. The formula? 1. Put the children in a hapless situation. 2. Throw in a couple of really really mean adults. 3. Give them friends that disappear by the end of the book.
4. Finally, make the really mean adults restrict just about everything they want to do.
Lemony Snicket writes based on situation and not much else. Boo!

Summary: The Austere Academy
Review: The Austere AcademyThe title of this book is called The Austere Academy. This story is fiction. It is about three children; Violet, Klaus and Sunny. This took place at a boarding school.
How would you like it if you did something bad ... and your punishment was having you silver ware taking away? That was the punishment that the students received at the boarding school that Violet, Klaus and Sunny went to.
You are probably saying in your head; what could the students do that was so bad? Well if they went to the Vice. Principal without a scheduled meeting, they would get their silver ware taking away. ...This is the 5th book of the series. ... The author Lemony Snicket is a VERY good writer. All his book are a Captive Hook to begin with. Once you read the book you cannot stop!
I would recommend this book for people who like mystery, with a little sadness, and whose loves to read!!!!

Summary: The mysterious Austere Academy
Review: The sereis of Unfortunate Events
The Austere Academy Lemony Snicket wrote this book, grabbing, and attracting readers with her words, to show much pity for certain characters throughout the story. This book ventures through many categories beyond mystery. It all starts when an evil villain, Count Olaf, murders the mother and father of a rich family called the Buadelains.
The children Violet, Klaus, and Sunny are taken to Prufreck Prepatory school. At the school they see a building with writing on it, an evil omen, "Memento Mori" (meaning, Remember you will die).
The children know they are not safe from Count Olaf, but the ever mimicking Vice President Nero of school says he has hi-tech computer programs that will keep Count Olaf away. After the Baudelaine children are settled in their orphan's shack that has dripping fungi on the ceiling and snapping crabs on the floor, they must endure boredom of the metric system, comprehensive exams, strict ways of adults, and violin recitals, plus the new gym teacher, Coach Genghis, who makes them do S.O.R.E. The only good thing the Baudelaines have now are the 2 triplet friends called the Quagmires.
Since losing their other triplet, they know the pain the Baudelains have, so they aid them through their troubles.
The Quagmires and Buadelains begin to believe the coach is really Count Alof in disguise. They have all the facts to prove it until the story twists, and ends with the Buadelins losing another possession in their life. This children in this book display good sportsmanship, and kindness. Through troubles the Quagmires showed comfort and support for the Baudelaines, and the Baudelains do the same for the Quagmires. There was allot of teamwork between & in each family. I think Lemony Snicket wanted to grab our attention, and let us know there are less fortunate people who do lose family. If we should cross paths with someone likewise we should give them sympathy. I would recommend this book to anybody who likes mystery and adventure, and doesn't mind being scared a little bit. If you like books with sequels, this one would be a good one to read, but if you have nightmares easily, you might want to avoid this book. BEWARE!

Summary: Memento Mori
Review: This is the fifth book in the series. If you just picked it up you should start from the first book as the story builds on each previous book. You will notice a common theme running through the stories. However the details change as you learn reading and inventing and biting skills.
Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire finally get to go to school. Well Sunny is too young so she becomes an administrative assistant. Of course who should turn up but Coach Genghis. And we all know who he is. Once again Count Olaf has the three Baudelaire brats running around in circles, as they try to illuminate his plan. This time his plot is so insidious that you will not be able to anticipate it.
Along the way we learn many lessons, the least of which is the value of utensils.

Summary: this was pretty good..
Review: this book was pretty good I mean some other stories that he wrote where excellent i mean i could read them over and over again but this one i didn't enjoy it because i mean even though they are going to school nothing really interesting happend in this one other then count olaf makeing them run all night until they where tired so they couldn't take the test and pass it. And just the last part when count olaf is doing some drastic messures but other then that this book is pretty good and pretty lame at the same time. But i still think you sould get it to read it.

Summary: Introduces Baudelaires' first major friends
Review: I liked the fact that the author finally introduced characters that were able to add to the plot of more than one book. The author finally found a way to give the Baudelaires clues which would get them closer to the end.

Summary: Good but going to far with the Unfortunate part.
Review: I like the lemony snicket books but in this one I just read it to be over with. It was ok and good but so many unfortunate things happened that it makes you sick to your stoamach. I'd say that the ending isn't too pleasing but that is where they went right to leave us hanging.

Summary: Sequel Fever
Review: Lemony Snicket does this in every one of his books! He kills you with suspence to turn the page and then he gives you a little more of the mystery revealed. I love Lemony Snicket books and I can't wait to read the next one but I want to warn you that once you pick up one of these books expect to be reading all of them! This wasn't my favorite one but it was one of the most unfortunate ones. I'm really good at predicting endings but lets just say I can't even imagine what will happen every two seconds! I would definatly suggest this book but I would read them in order because it makes more sence and make sure not to read the Unauthorized autobiography until you finish all of them. I recomend if you just want to read the best ones read the Ersatz Elevator and the Reptile Room (They are my favorites!).

Summary: Good Reading Through Misery
Review: The Austere Academy is the 5th book in the series of the Unfortunate Events, by Lemony Snicket. The series is about three children who have been through so many horrible things and now have to live in the Prufrock Preparatory School. The eight main characters are Count Olaf, Coach Genghis, Vice Principal Nero, Isadora, Duncan, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny. Violet, Klaus, and Sunny are the three children I said before. Violet and count olaf are alike in different ways. One is they are both smart in very different ways. Count Olaf is a sneaky, evil, and selfish man. He is a sneaky man because he try to dress up as someone else, and finds the children, tricks them into thinking he is a nice man then tries get their money. He is evil and selfish because he wants all their money to himself, and he will hurt other people to get the money. If you read this book you could find out who is Count Olaf is in this book of the series of the unfortunate events. Also you might like it so much you will do a book review.
I think these series are a very good because it's the kind of book you just can't put it down because you want to know what is going to happen next. Even if you don't like sad stories or stories like this one, maybe if you read this book it would change your taste in books.

Summary: The Austere Academy Is Awsome!
Review: The Austere Academy, which is fifth in A Series of Unfortunate Events, by Lemony Snicket,is an exciting book that makes you never want to put it down. Once again, the Baudelaire children are faced with another unlucky stop in their miserable lives. The three orphans are sent to Prufrock Preparatory School, where they are forced to live in a run-down shack with crabs, fungus and disgusting wallpaper. There is also a Vice Principal who gives ear-wrecking 6 hour violin concerts that everyone is forced to attend. But that is the least of their problems! Count Olaf has returned... in another devious desguise. He will stop at nothing to get the Baudelaire fortune. He makes Violet, Klaus and Sunny run every night after dinner until the sun rises in a cruel plot to eventually make them fail in school so he can supposedly adopt them and take over their fortune. Although Count Olaf has the children barely in his clutches, they become friends with the Quagmire triplets and they help them in their tragedy. The ending will make you jump up out of your chair and go to the bookstore to get the next book in the series! I gave this book 5 stars because there are lots of details, and excitement on every page. Also the book has very good vocabulary and you learn alot of new words.
