Summary: The Hostile Hospital
Review: This book is the latest in the Series. The series begins in Book 1 when Mr. Poe, a banker who is a friend of the Baudelaires, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny visits them at the beach and changes their life forever. The kids find that their parents have died in a fire. The orphans go from Guardian to Guardian, each one kicks them out or is killed by Count Olaf, a greedy, awful man who wants to kill the Baudelaires for their fortune. I found this book scary, but I liked it just the same, I think you'll like it too. The whole series is full of mysteries and you'll have fun trying to solve them and then seeing if you are right.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Exciting book
Review: The series of Unfortunate Events books are some of the best books I have ever read. They are all exciting-and scary at times.
This is the basic information on this series. The orphans-Violet, Klaus, and Sunny's parents die in a horible house fire. They have no close relitives, so they are sent to Count Olaf-an evil man. In the first book they escape from his clutches, just barely. But through all eight of the books, he is trying to steal their forchan.
I LOVED this book and recomend it to people 10 and up. When I started one of these books, I personaly couldn't put it down until I finnished it. Then I kept begging my mom to get me the next book. Once again YOU should read this book. Go to a bookstore and get it NOW!

Summary: Wow!
Review: Lemony Snicket has done it again, the eighth time! Snicket has class, spunk, suspense, and humor in his books. His style is so different I'd rather read this then Harry Potter! I highly reccomend for all ages!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Hostile Hospital
Review: The Hospital Hospital is a great book! It is the 8th book of a Series of Unfortunate Events. It is about three orphan kids. Their parents die in a fire and leave a fortune behind, but an evil villian named Count Olaf follows them around trying to steal their fortune. It is exciting and really suspenseful. You'll never want to put the book down until you finish. Will he steal their fortune this time? Find out in The Hostile Hospital.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: LEMONY RULES!
Review: This Lemony Snicket book is one of my fayorite titles of all of them. I love how Lemony Snicket always suddenly creates a miserable ending in each of his books. I like this because I'm tired of those "and they lived happily ever after stories". But this one had probably the most suspense of all of them. Because they ride in they're archenemy Count Olaf's car in the trunk to escape a burning hospital.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "Harry Potter Goes to Hell" ??
Review: I came to the Series of Unfortunate Events after reading a review of the first three books; they sounded weird, light but strange. Even a friend referred to them as "Harry Potter goes to hell" regarding their style.

By the time I got to reading the first one, there were 5 out in the series; I read the first, then the second, and before I knew it was done with all five. I couldn't remember the last time I had laughed so hard - or out loud - before reading about the unfortunate lives of the Beaudelaire orphans.

I have read them all, and just finished "The Hostile Hospital" and it is one of the best in the series. After going through pure heck with the crow fanatics loonies in "The Vile Village" (another good read), Violet and Klaus and Sunny find themselves hiding out of sheer desperation in the Records department of a nearby hospital whose construction is only half-completed. This time around, they find Count Olaf before Olaf finds them, but soon enough that is turned around and Klaus and Sunny are desperately searching for their captive sister Violet before Olaf and his cronies can perform brain surgery on the helpless sibling . . .

Several elements make this near-perfect book such a great addition to the series: first, we as readers get the best hints yet as to the ties between the Beaudelaires, the author Lemony Snicket, and the mysterious Beatrice that the author so dearly loves. While the hints are only a tease of soooooooo much more to come, they keep your adrenaline flowing and your interest peaked as much as any Nancy Drew or Hardy Boys book did when you were a kid - VERY suspenseful! Secondly, and more remarkably, the orphans have gone from put-upon victims to characters you really care about -- by about book #6 (this is book #8 here), you have stopped chuckling at all the bad luck dealt to these kids, and really begin rooting for them to come out of their unfortunate events alive and well. Third, the cliffhanger ending of this book makes you ACHE for #9, which won't be out until July!! What an ending!!

It Edward Gorey had written books and illustrated them, it would be these. If you would enjoy a macabre sense of humor, laugh-out loud wordplay and sight gags, and some of the daffiest characters and situations ever created in literature -- along with suspense and characterization that sneaks up on you until you are rooting for the good guys -- then read this series IN ORDER for some of the best reading you'll get for some time. Note: these books are quick reads, but still give yourself time; when you finish one, you'll want to start the next immediately!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Really Good But not Great
Review: It delivers all but a little. I really liked it. It had an ending that kept you hanging I want to read the next book. It was full of suspence. But it fell short in some areas. But don't get me wrong it was very good. I plan on getting the 9th one the day it comes out!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: More Danger, More Fun, More Clues
Review: Once again the hapless trio find themselves in another miserable situation this time at a half completed hospital. As Lemony Snicket climbs closer to the goal of thirteen books in this miserable and hilarious series, the action becomes much more fast and furious with this particular book ending with a cliff hanger. More clues are being dropped about their parents fateful day,the mysterious V.F.D. and Jaques Snicket who came to an unfortunate end in the last tale of woe. Each outing gets better and better, and if you've read the others you'll surely want to snatch this one up!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Hostile?
Review: I believe that this book The Hostile Hospital, is way different than the other books. I thought it was hard to read at some points because I was boerd. What made me so boerd was the fact that Klaus and Sunny were going to rescue Violet anyways from getting her head chopped off. I was also suprised that Lemony Snicket was a little more disgusting in this book. I reccomend this book if you are an advanced reader, like me I read about 2 pages in a minute.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Hostile Hospital
Review: This book gurantees suspicion. It keeps you on your feet. It is much better than Harry Potter. They should make a movie on it. Read all the books and you will get your money's worth.
