Rating: Summary: The Vile Village Review: The Vile Village is the seventh book of A Series of Unfortunate Events. This is a great book. If you have read any of the Series of Unfortunate Events I think you will like this book. The books are about three orphans named Violet, Klaus, and Sunny. Starting in the fifth book they have been trying to find out the true secret of V.F.D. Violet is an inventor, Klaus does the researching, and Sunny likes to bite stuff. In each book they go to a different guardian. If you don't have this book buy it now. The reason I like these books is because they keep you interested and are really exciting when the orphans are trying to get away from Count Olaf.
Rating: Summary: They're alive! They survived the Vile Village Review: The Vile Village by Lemony Snicket puplished in 2001. Boom! Count Olaf has a harpoon gun and is shooting at the Baudelaires while they're getting into their balloon. And there are millions of crows everywhere. Olaf shot the rope, now they're falling. Want know what happens? Then read the Vile Village. The main idea is basically Olaf follows the Baudelaires, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny .They have been going from relative to relative but Olaf always finds them and tries to capture them. Why is olaf after them? Because when their parents died they left behind a lot of money and that's the main idea basicaly. This is a part I liked, here's how it went. "The children scarcely looked at the town. Instead looked straight up at the mysterious and beautiful sight of the sky .Isn't it marvelous hectar cried .His long skinny arms were outstretched and had raise his voice over the sound of luttering wings". I think others will like this book because it's funny witty and sad combined making atragic funny story.I liked it because you think good prevails but then there stranded again Out of the whole series i'd give this book a 7 if you dont beleive me reread my review then read the series.
Rating: Summary: Don't try to break out of jail by pouring water on the wall! Review: This book was really good. I thought it was one of the best in the series. Lemony Snicket was streching the truth a little when he wrote about the kids breaking through the wall of bricks with water, though.
Rating: Summary: Catchy! Review: The Vile Village is great for kids. I never liked the Lemony Snicket books before but now I do. Now that I'm in fourth grade, I love them. I recommend this books to kids 9 years and older. It's better than any book I've ever read.
Rating: Summary: Vile Visit Review: The best and most twisting book of Lemony Snicket yet. Count Olf stirkes and it is up to the three Buldilaire ophans to find the mysterios answer to V.F.D. They are landed in the village of fowl devotes. Can their friends, the Quagmires, finally be found? Find out by reading this page turning book!
Rating: Summary: A Dark Comedy For Kids (adults are welcome) Review: The book explains terms like "barking up the wrong tree" to young readers, and I've heard that young folks are not bothered by the gloomy story. For adults it's an entertaining adventure with literary references such as the lawyer "Poe" who sends the orphans to a village dominated by crows, who roost every night on Nevermore Tree. Tongue in cheek most of the way, with the audio edition offering exaggerated voices and music to create a mood that is both dark and over the top silly.
Rating: Summary: Great Book!! Review: Great Book to all Baudelaire fans. I was a little dissapointed with the Miserable Mill, but The Series has gotton better now that the Quagmires are involved. Great job, Lemony, your books are great!!
