Summary: Snickett does it again!
Review: After finishing book the 6th, THE ERSATZ ELEVATOR, I had to read the next book. When this book came out and I got it, I ran upstairs and started to read it. I had to bring it to class a couple of times, but I finished it in two days.

This book started out by the Baudelaire orphans picking, from a list of villages, the village of V.F.D to be there new gaurdian. When they get there they meet up with weird hats, rules,a board of Elders, and a handyman.

Once again Count Olaf meets up with them, and hides thier friends, the Qugamire Triplets, somwhere. The Baudelaire orphans have to figure out where they are and how to rescue them. The baudelaire orphans later meet up with a detective, which throws the Baudelaires in jail and they have to use their wits to break out.

How they do every thing can display very easily there wits. This story is filled with many ingenious touches, from self sustaning hot air mobiles to the migration pattern of the V.F.D crows. This is a great book and it would be a shame if noone were to immerse themselves into it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book is great!!
Review: When my friend Sarah told me about the Lemony Snicket books I made her lend me all of them. I could not set these books down! I am really looking forward to September when The Hostile HOspital comes out!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The BEST series in the world!
Review: This is the best book of the best series in the world!! It will make so much more sense, though, if you read the first six, which I also HIGHLY recommend. This book could not be made better- it i hilarious, though you will be screaming out the answer to the mystery in this exciting book. I was torn between reading it all in one day or savoring it for a couple! An easy read, I loved it. I recommend it to every young person who likes humor!!!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: The Vile Village VFD By Lemony Snicket
Review: My son (age 9) and I have read every book in this wonderful series and they just keep getting better. As JK Rowling can't crank out Harry Potter's adventures quickly enough, these books are great fun and are great vocabulary builders.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Teachers says, "Fifty 3rd graders can't be wrong!"
Review: Another teacher and myself combine our classes for read aloud time. Our classes are really enjoying the books in this series, and we are just finishing "The Vile Village" as the school year ends. It did take a while for some kids to tune in to the author's unique sense of humor, but now they all "get it" and find Lemony Snicket to be very funny. I searched the internet and found a Lemony Snicket website that may be helpful to those considering reading this series. Search for yourself, but if I were you, I'd forget about this review and just read something safer.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Conplete and utterly awesome
Review: This was a great book, perfect for any Lemony Snicket fan (btw, I still can't believe it's his actual name)I won't give out the plot so the people who haven't read it get mad at me, but if you've enjoyed the series from 1 to 6, you'lll like this one!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Amazingly Amusing
Review: the perfect book to give to a voracious reader between 7-10, Mr Snicket in his depreciating manner delights everyone divinely. Klaus's clever definitions allow kids to learn new Big words, which of COURSE they knew before. The play on words and the intelligent silliness-the logics are reminiscent of Alice. My hat lies on the ground to Monsieur Snicket. The Vile Village is GOOD FUN!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another disastrous success!
Review: My nine year old and I have had such fun reading this series of unfortunate events! He could well read them himself, but these books have proved to be a real delight for both of us. (I use the term "delight" advisedly, as these books always end badly for the Baudelaire children.) "The Vile Village" was an entertaining next installment in the tales of Count Olaf's treachery. And we actually learned something interesting! I am a 46 year old attorney and had no idea that the correct term for a grouping of crows is a "murder," as in a flock of geese, a pod of whales, a bevy of swans, and a murder of crows! The plot of this book is well summarized elsewhere. I can only add that Lemony did not let us down and we are anticipating the next adventure!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Great Edition to a Great Series
Review: In "The Vile Village," Snicket is probably at his best since the beginning of the series. In this novel, Sunny, Klaus, and Violet are put off to the village called V.F.D. The orphans go under the program, "It takes a village to raise a child." Hector, the handyman, is their main caretaker. When they get to the village, they have hopes that the mystery of V.F.D. will be solved. Unfortunately, the village and the mystery are not the same. Fortunately, though, the Quagmire triplets are somewhere in the village. The treacherous villain Olaf returns too, but this time doesn't play as big a role as in other books. So, "The Vile Village" is definitely one of the best of the series, and I can't wait to read the six remaing volumes to come. Get this novel if you're a true fan of the series or a minimal series. Somebody that has never even read the prior books can even enjoy this. Buy and enjoy.

Happy Reading!
