Rating: 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!
Rating: Summary: The Vile Village Review: This book was very exciting,funny, and has many miserable characters.Atleast Violet, Klaus, and Sunny have someone who cares for them, even though that person is not much help.This is the best book I've ever read. I hope other people enjoy it, too.
Rating: Summary: Misfortune follows the Baudelaires to their newest home. Review: Because none of their distant relatives will take them in out of fear of Count Olaf, the three Baudelaire orphans become part of a new program based on the saying "It takes a village to raise a child." Under this program, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny's newest guardians will be all the residents of an entire village. In the hopes of solving the mystery of "V.F.D.," the children choose a village by that name as their new home. But they are terribly disappointed. They are sent to live with a kind but timid man named Hector who loves to cook Mexican food and has a library of forbidden books. V.F.D. is run by the strict Council of Elders, who have made tens of thousands of ridiculous rules that the citizens of the village must follow or risk being burned at the stake. When the Baudelaires are falsely accused of murder and imprisoned, they must escape from the jail and find their friends the Quagmires, who are hidden somewhere in the village. This was another miserable, hilarious book in A Series of Unfortunate Events that is a must-read for all fans of the series.
Rating: Summary: The Vile Village By: Lemony Snicket Review: Parvenue au Tome 7 des Désastreuses aventures des Orphelins Baudelaire, je leur accorde désormais beaucoup de crédit ! En toute honnêteté, Lemony Snicket adopte une tournure captivante, optant pour quelques grammes de mystères qui étoffent agréablement le récit. Dans "L'arbre aux corbeaux", Violette, Klaus et Prunille ont décidé d'être adoptés par la ville de VDC - la lecture des précédents ouvrages vous fera comprendre la motivation de ce choix. Cette ville, alias Villeneuve les Corbeaux, n'est hélas pas accueillante pour les trois enfants, en fait chargés d'accomplir les basses besognes de toute la communauté. Laquelle est dirigée par un Conseil des Anciens qui édicte des règles très strictes interdisant pratiquement tout ! Pour le trio Baudelaire, la menace du Comte Olaf demeure présente, sous quel masque se dissimule-t-il ?.. Sans compter que des vindictes populaires voient le jour, menant à des hérésies, à des condamnations au bûcher et aux mouvements grégaires. Fichtre, on ne s'ennuie pas. D'un côté le secret du comte Olaf s'épaissit, les orphelins Beauxdraps sont dans les parages, une nouvelle énigme voit le jour en la personne d'un dénommé Jacques... Moi qui jugeais les premiers tomes assez répétitifs, je dois reconnaître que depuis un ou deux livres les aventures des Baudelaire ne cessent d'être pimentées ! Je me surprends d'être très attachée à cette série, en fin de compte !
Rating: Summary: A Miserable Birthday for Klaus Review: Thanks to the evil Count Olaf, all of the Baudelaire's distant relatives refuse to take them in, for fear of being dragged into some unfortunate demise, like the rest of the distant relatives who opened their homes to the Baudelaire's. Hence, the three Baudelaire Orphans - Violet, 14; Klaus, now 13; and Sunny, a baby not much larger than a watermelon - have been enrolled in a program where they will be raised by an entire village, due to the saying, "It takes a village to raise a child." The children quickly choose the village "V.F.D." as their new home, for it is these three initials that the Quagmire Triplets shouted to them before they disappeared once again. However, the Baudelaire's are quite let-down by what they find in "V.F.D." They are forced to live with Hector, a man who has a secret library, a secret inventing studio - they are secret because the "V.F.D." Council of Elders have made them against the law, along with thousands of other rules; if broken you will be burned at the stake, or imprisoned - and loves to cook Mexican food. While he's very kind to the Baudelaire's, when they are accused of murder and thrown in jail, he doesn't defend them or even give them an alibi. Now it's up to the three Orphans to use their strength to escape from jail and find their friends the Quagmires, before it's too late.
As always, Lemony Snicket has done a fabulous job in creating yet another miserable adventure for the Baudelaire Orphans. Even as the three Orphans do chores for the entire town of "V.F.D." and spend time in jail, they never stop thinking, and trying to find a way to make their lives better in any possible way. We are treated to seeing the Baudelaire's happy for just the slightest time in THE VILE VILLAGE, and also have the opportunity to see Klaus turn 13-years-old. Even though his birthday is not a pleasant one. Snicket is on a miserable streak, and I know that it will continue in the next book in the series THE HOSTILE HOSPITAL.
