It's tough when the things that stand between you and your desired sugar bowl are a host of deadly mushrooms and an uncomfortable diving suit. The unlucky Baudelaire orphans find themselves in deep (once again) in this eleventh book in Lemony Snicket's odd-and-full-of-woe-but-quite-funny Series of Unfortunate Events. In The Grim Grotto, the siblings find themselves headed down Stricken Stream on a broken toboggan when they are spotted by the submarine Queequeg, carrying Captain Widdershins, his somewhat volatile stepdaughter Fiona, and optimistic Phil from Lucky Smells Lumbermill. The adventures that follow as the crew tries to get to the aforementioned sugar bowl before Count Olaf are so horrible that the narrator inserts factual information about the water cycle so that readers will get bored and stop reading the book. It doesn't work. As per usual, readers will want to soak up every awf! ul detail and follow the Baudelaires all the way back to the place we first met them--Briny Beach. (Ages 9 and older) --Karin Snelson

An Interview with Lemony Snicket
Lemony Snicket has captured the hearts of childen and adults alike with the hilariously gloomy series that began, of course, with The Bad Beginning. Amazon.com had a chance to question the author of this marvelously morbid and delightfully depressing series, and the communication was grim indeed. Read the cumbersome communique and see for yourself.

A Few Words from Daniel Handler
Due to the world-wide web of conspiracy which surrounds him, Lemony Snicket often communicates with the general public through his representative, Daniel Handler. We were lucky enough to hear from Daniel, and asked him the questions we ask every author, Amazon.com's The Significant Seven

Book Description

Plan to spend this autumn in hiding. Lemony Snicket is back with the eleventh book in his New York Times best-selling Series of Unfortunate Events.

Lemony Snicket's saga about the charming, intelligent, and grossly unlucky Baudelaire orphans continues to provoke suspicion and despair in readers the world over. In the eleventh and most alarming volume yet in the bestselling phenomenon A Series of Unfortunate Events, the intrepid siblings delve further into the dark mystery surrounding the death of their parents and the baffling organization of V.F.D.

Customer Reviews:

The book has a good ending, but wasn't as interesting as the previous book........2007-06-14

I love how the end of this book ties into the series very well. I thought this book wasn't very interesting. I felt the previous book was better because you got introduced to an important character (Quigley) and you got some answer to long awaited questions and more clues. I felt that this book was just used to lengthen the series in order to get to that "unfortunate" number 13. I know other readers of the series are thinking the same thing. The series has been dragging on with a few pick me ups of excited information or clues here and there. I liked the end to this book, which happily makes me want to read the 12th book. I'm hoping we receive more information, more clues, and more suspense as we reach book 13. I am hoping for a good ending to this series and I am hoping that you as readers will continue on with the series even when you feel like you should step away from the series.

thank you for your time,
Loran

Great series.......2007-05-25

I loved this book. I loved Klaus' ill-fated connection with the mysterious Fiona, the crisis with the mushrooms, and above all the last chapters, where the bigger mysteries of VFD finally begin coming together. The ending is probably the single best ending in the series... Of course, I do not need to mention to evryone to also read the next book in the series The Penultimate Peril (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 12) As for other great series, I ejoyed Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7) - waiting impatiently for the last book, and Why Some Cats are Rascals ( Book 3) -- a totally different kind of story, but how captivating! I am giving it for my younger sister as a Birthday Gift.

One of Lemony Snickets best books. .......2007-05-17

The Grim Grotto was one of Lemony Snickets best books I have ever read. In this book the children almost get caught. They all get in submarine and get caught by Count Olaf. Claus meets him a girl but she switches sides and joins Count Olaf because her step brother is on that side. Sunny gets infected with some poisonous mushrooms and almost dies but the children save her at the last second. In the end all of the children go to were they started in the first book at the beach.

The Grim Grotto.......2007-03-11

I had already read this book. I bought it to complete my collection.

A good book.......2007-02-28

The Baudelaire orphans are floating down a mountain side on a river. Lucky for them they find a submarine that lets them in. So now they are off on a fun filled adventure. If you like a book that keeps you guessing the whole way, this is the book for you. I would recommend you read this book. I would also recommend you read this book if you like adventure books.

I'm not a huge scrapbooker, but I like to do pages from time to time. This book is great to give me layout ideas when I get tired of doing things the same all the time. It's useful for all types of layouts too, not just pet pages. I'm glad I bought it.

I am always looking for ways to scrapbook my dogs and cats. Their photos are so much fun to work with and practice all my techniques. But I rarely if ever see pet pages in the magazines. This book is beautiful. The pet layouts are fantastic and give me lots of motivation to get cropping.

Fans of Lemony Snicket's wonderful Series of Unfortunate Events won't be surprised to find that in the sixth installment the three Baudelaire orphans' new home proves to be something of a mixed bag. As our ever sad but helpful narrator states, "Although 'a mixed bag' sometimes refers to a plastic bag that has been stirred in a bowl, more often it is used to describe a situation that has both good parts and bad parts. An afternoon at the movie theater, for instance, would be a mixed bag if your favorite movie were showing, but if you had to eat gravel instead of popcorn. A trip to the zoo would be a very mixed bag if the weather were beautiful, but all of the man-and woman-eating lions were running around loose." And so it is for the bad-luck Baudelaires. Their fancy new 71-bedroom home on 667 Dark Avenue is inhabited by Esmé Gigi Geniveve Squalor (the city's sixth most important financial advisor), and her kindly husband, Jerome, who doesn't like to argue. Esmé is obsessed by the trends du jour (orphans are "in"), and because elevators are "out," Sunny, Violet, and Klaus have to trudge up 66 flights of stairs to reach the Squalors' penthouse apartment. (Other unfortunate trends include pinstripe suits, aqueous martinis--water with a faint olive-y taste--parsley soda, and ocean decorations.)

As the book begins, the Baudelaires are not only frightened in anticipation of their next (inevitable) encounter with the evil, moneygrubbing Count Olaf but they are also mourning the disappearance of their dear new friends from The Austere Academy, the Quagmires. It doesn't take long for Olaf to show up in another of his horrific disguises... but if he is on Dark Avenue, what has he done with the Quagmires? Once again, the resourceful orphans use their unique talents (Violet's inventions, Klaus's research skills, and the infant Sunny's strong teeth) in a fruitless attempt to escape from terrible tragedy. Is there a gleam of hope for the orphans and their new friends? Most certainly not. The only thing we can really count on are more gloriously gloomy adventures in the seventh book, The Vile Village. (Ages 9 and older) --Karin Snelson

Book Description

Dear Reader,

If you have just picked up this audio, then it is not too late to put it back down. Like the previous books in A Series of Unfortunate Events, there is nothing to be found in these pages but misery, despair, and discomfort, and you still have time to choose something else to read.

Within the chapters of this story, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire encounter a darkened staircase, a red herring, some friends in a dire situation, three mysterious initials, a liar with an evil scheme, a secret passageway, and parsley soda.

I have sworn to write down these tales of the Baudelaire orphans so the general public will know each terrible thing that has happened to them, but if you decide to read something else instead, you will save yourself from a heapful of horror and woe.

With all due respect,

Lemony Snicket

The Ersatz Elevator.......2007-03-30

The Ersatz Elevator is about three children, Klaus, Sunny, and Violet, who lost their parents in a horrible fire. They have been adopted by relative after relative with their means of happiness only to be shattered by the evil Count Olaf. He has one thing in mind. Their huge fortune they inherited from their parents. In this book, the children are currently adopted by their sixth closest relative, Esme and Jerome Squalor. Esme only cares about things that are "in" or popular and Jerome just follows along. Olaf dresses up as a businessman and fools Jerome and Esme. Then, the kids find their kidnapped friends at the bottom of a secret elevator shaft. In the end, they try to save their friends but Olaf escapes with them. I loved this book because of its interesting storyline, odd characters, and suspenseful moments.

This book has one of the weirdest storylines I have ever seen! The kids actually go down into an empty elevator shaft, not knowing what they will find, and then find their missing friends inside. After that, they climb back up, heat some fireplace utensils in an oven, and rush back down to try and melt the metal bars of their friends' cage. By then, Olaf had swept them away to an auction that he and Esme set up. He was to hide the friends in an auction item and buy the item, allowing him a chance to get out of the city. The children rush to the auction, through a secret passageway they had found, and try to find the right item only to make a fool of themselves while Olaf gets away.

This book also had very weird characters! Esme didn't care what was "in' just as long as she had it. For example, if light was not in, she would do everything she could to make everything she was near dark as can be. If elevators are not in, you would have to walk all the way up the stairs to the penthouse apartment in the dark. Jerome, even though he doesn't like the things Esme does, never talks just because he doesn't like arguing. They live in a seventy-one room penthouse that is about one-hundred stories in the air. The children never got used to living with these crazy people.

This book got very suspenseful at parts. For example, when they climbed down the elevator, you didn't know what was going to happen or what they would find. Another example is when the children were about to reveal that their stolen friends were in the auction item, you didn't know whether or not they were actually there or not.

The last reason that I like this book is because it is part of a huge series. I love to read a series of books because they provide large amounts of information and allow you to solve a big puzzle. The characters continue from book to book and each one contributed greatly towards understanding the big mystery. That is why I loved this book.

C. Copeland

Not suspenseful enough for me. (Some spoilers!).......2007-02-05

I bought all 13 books already with my own money, so i intend to finish the series, but it's hard when these books are sometimes not interesting enough. This book has some suspense like V.F.D. and the Ersatz elevator shaft leading to the remains of the Baudelaire mansion, but it seems that it was not as suspenseful as the 5th book for some reason. I think that these books will become more suspenseful and interesting as the series continues, but right now it is just not to that point. I think this series is good so far, but the plot is overly repeated, so as that the reader and almost guess to what is exactly going to happen. I think/know that the Harry Potter series is better then this series. You should read that series if you want a real good read with a lot of suspense, interest, and magic.

Thank you for your time,
Loran

A Series of Unfortunate Events .......2007-02-04

I absolutely adore these books.. After I start reading them, I don't want to stop! Once I am done with the book, I am on a search for the next one!I recommend these books to any reader that loves the suspense! *****

Best book in the series!!!.......2007-01-26

I'd have to say that this is the best book in A Series of Unfortunate Events. The Baudelaire orphans climb a huge staircase, climb up and down an elevator shaft, wear pinstripe suits, go to an auction at Veblen Hall in order to save their friends, and have to face with Count Olaf. I recomend this book to everyone!

Are the "A Series of Unfortunate Events" books in or out?.......2007-01-16

If you've read this book, you know what I mean by my title.

In this book, the Baudelaires go to live with yet another guardian. Actually guardians. They go to live with Esmé and Jerome Squalor. Esmé is obsessed with what's in or out of style. The whole town calls each other to tell each other what's recently in and out. Some examples of what silly things Esmé thinks are in and out are: Orphans were out but now they're in so she can adopt the Baudelaires, grapefruits are in, bright blue cereal bowls are in, billboards with photographs of weasels on them are in...etc.

Count Olaf comes in a disguise again but, although the three kids know he's around in a dumb disguise, you don't hear from Count Olaf too much in this book except in the beginning and the end.

The Baudelaires are trying to find the Quagmires and they go through several dangerous situations to find and save the triplets.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book! I think it was the funniest and most enjoyable book of them all, so far!

What would you do if you found yourself trapped in a runaway caravan hurtling down a precipitous mountain slope? Fourteen-year-old Violet, the oldest orphan of the three Baudelaires, decides to try to slow the velocity of the caravan with a drag-chute invention involving a viscous combination of blackstrap molasses, maple syrup, maraschino liqueur, peanut butter, etc. If plummeting to their death weren't scary enough, Violet and her brother Klaus have been separated from Sunny, their baby sister who is in a car headed in the opposite direction up the mountain with the "facinorous" Count Olaf, his "villainous and stylish" girlfriend Esmé Squalor, and their creepy sidekicks. Do Violet and Klaus find Sunny on the mountain? How will they survive the treacherous, snow-covered peaks with not much more than a ukulele and a bread knife, especially in the face of the "organized, ill-tempered" snow gnats? Will they finally unearth the mystery of the V.F.D.? Will they find out if one of their parents is alive after all? The suspense! As ever, the Baudelaires' unfolding tale of woe is sprinkled with Lemony Snicket's ridiculous, hilarious observations such as "Fate is like a strange, unpopular restaurant with odd waiters who bring you things you never asked for and don't always like." The tenth book in The Series of Unfortunate Events takes readers through the Mortmain Mountains to the churning waters of the Stricken Stream with all the coexistent horror and silliness a Snicket fan could hope for along the way.

Book Description

DISCLAIMER: The long term effects of listening to this audio are unknown. Scientists have detected slightly higher rates of panic, fright and free-floating anxiety amongst listeners to this audio than that found in those listeners who engaged in more pleasant listening activities.

Dear Listener,

Like handshakes or housepets, many things are preferable when not slippery. Unfortunately, in this miserable volume, I am afraid that Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire run into more than their fair share of slipperiness during their harrowing journey up -- and down -- a range of strange and distressing mountains.

It would be best not to mention any of the unpleasant details of this story, particularly a secret message, a swarm of snow gnats, a scheming villain, a covered casserole dish, and a surprising survivor of a terrible fire.

Unfortunately, I have dedicated my life to researching and recording the sad tale of the Baudelaire Orphans. There is no reason for you to dedicate yourself to such things, and you might instead dedicate yourself to letting this slippery audio slip from your hands into a nearby trash receptacle, or deep pit. With all due respect,

Lemony Snicket

A rollercoaster of suspense and of long awaited answers to questions........2007-06-12

I thought this book was really good. The last book left you hanging at the end of which this book begins. This book continues from where Sunny was in Olaf's clutches and Violet and Klaus are rolling down a mountain to a conceivable death. In this book along with long awaited answers to questions, we are joined by past book characters and characters we've only heard about. I loved how we got move insight on the VFD and more clues. This book also brought in information from the previous books, which was good because it tied the series together more. So if you haven't read the series from the beginning then you should so you don't get lost.I'm hoping that the last 3 books have this same build up to the long awaited finale of the 13th book.

thank you for your time,
Loran

The Slippery Slope.......2007-06-06

The Slippery Slope is about the three Baudelaires whose parents died in a terrible fire that burned down their whole house. The Baudelaires are sent to live with an evil man named Count Olaf. In this book they are traveling up the Mortmain Mountains looking for a secret hideout. One of the Baudelaires got captured and has to cook for Count Olaf and his troupe.

I would recommend this book to people who like intense and scary books and are from 9-12 years old. I liked this book because you couldn't stop reading it. Something is always happening so you can't stop reading until you find out what happened. When you did some thing else would happen so you would have to keep reading. I disliked this book because the author would explain everything to you and tell you what they mean

I think people should read this book if they like intense and scary books. You should also read the other books in the series if you like this one.

Rescuing Sunny.......2007-05-21

I do recomend this book because it is an adventure waiting for someone to read. This book is full with action and there is never a time when you don't want to know whats going to happen next. The plot wasn't very believable like in some parts it was far fetched. Like the orphans would get an idea in their mind and every time it came out how they wanted to it to. A person who would enjoy reading it is a person who like adventures because this book has an adventure on every page. I would read another book by this author, because I read the whole series so far and I'm on book 10, and I am not going to just stop reading the series when there is only 13 books to read.

The Slippery Slope.......2007-04-25

A Series of Unfortunate Events the Slippery Slope is about the three Baudelaire children who get separated thanks to Count Olaf. Count Olaf is an evil man who has been in there lives since he burned down there house at the beginning. In this part of the Baudelaire's adventure Count Olaf takes Sunny far up to the top of the Mortmain Mountains and Klaus and Violet try to save her while they try to learn there parents secrets and those of the V.F.D.

My favorite part of the book would have to be when Klaus and Violet meet up with the snow scouts on there way to the top of the Mortmain Mountains. To there surprise they meet up with the "long lost Quagmire triplet" who had "died" in a terrible fire. Of course he did not for he is there with them. Any way Klaus, Violet and him share there secrets to try to solve their mysteries but they didn't learn much. That is definitely my favorite part because for once the Baudelaire's feel good about something in a time of need.

A Series of Unfortunate Events the Slippery Slope is an excellent book. When I read it there was something about it that [..]in and I couldn't put it down. It definitely isn't a very hard read but it is very funny the way Lemeny Snicket writes and how he thinks. As I said it isn't a hard read so I highly recommend for all levels of readers. This book gives the definitions of words younger readers probably have never heard of and Lemeny Snicket talks as if he has researched the Baudelaire's and is writing down the facts in a history book, which I think is really cool. All in all this is a very cool book and I highly recommend it to all people.

With a bad start.......2007-04-19

The Slippery Slope is the 10th installment of the ever so dreadful series called "A Series of Unfortunate Events", featuring the three Baudelaire orphans; Violet (14 year old inventor), Klaus (her well read brother) and the youngest Sunny (the ever talented chomper).

The book began with a really bad start, where Violet and Klaus are plummeling down the mountain to their death while Sunny is left in Count Olaf's hands so he could get his filthy hands on the Baudelaire's fortune. After their close call, they meet up with the third missing Quigley Quagmire, who were thought to be dead in the first place! The three of them do whatever it takes to decipher the ever so mysterious VFD, giving Violet and Klaus more important informaton about their parents' past involvement with the VFD.

Meanwhile, Sunny tries her best to keep herself safe, by stalling and doing some chores set by Count Olaf and his evil troupe for her to complete, as cooking, hoping her siblings are safe somewhere and not dead in the feet of the mountains. While she is in Count Olaf's hands, she overheard some things that's useful for her and her siblings to persue in the future.

At first, I wasn't really looking forward to read this one after how that last book ended. I love the cover and the plot really pulls you in like always.

Dear Listener,

The word carnivorous means meat eating and this carnivorous volume contains such a distressing story that consuming any of its contents would be far more stomach-turning than even the most imbalanced meal.

It would be best if I didn't mention any of the unnerving ingredients of this story, particularly, an unruly crowd, a wooden plank, and Chabo the Wolf Baby. I also shouldn't mention the features of the interactive CD, which include:

Perplexing word games

Sadly for me, I continue to research the lives of the Baudelaire orphans, but your time might be filled with something more palatable. With all due respect,

The Carnivorous Carnival is in town........2007-05-17

Do you like books that have mystery, adventures, secrets, or orphans in them? If not, then I am warning you right now that you can put this book down get a happier story like "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants." It's your decision; you can choose the book I just suggested or you can choose "The Carnivorous Carnival". If you want to know more or get to know the Baudelaire's read on, if not you can put this down and run around screaming like a maniac into the night.

This is the story of Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire, three orphans who have been put under the care of Count Olaf. This story began when the Baudelaire parents perished in a fire that destroyed their entire mansion. The three children were on Briny Beach when Mr. Poe, the wealthy banker told the Baudelaire orphans that, well, they were orphans. Then, at Count Olafs' house he put the Baudelaire's to work. Some chores rough, some chores were as easy as ringing a doorbell.

If I were to give the book a rating out of 10, I would personally give it a 9 ½. I think this is the best book I've read up to date because, it has a lot of suspenseful moments, and a whole lot of mystery, drama, and some clues to whether the Baudelaire parents are alive or dead.
I highly recommend this book for every age group from 10 and up. The only people who wouldn't like this book are people who hate books without unhappy endings.

If you want to know more about or get to know the Baudelaire's you can start from the beginning and read the 13 books in chronological order, or you can read them scattered like I did. It doesn't matter how you read it, it just matters if you do read it. (All books are Accelerated Reader Eligible.)

the carnivorous carnival.......2007-05-08

Now we are back in the belly of the beast. The Carnivorous Carnival was an exciting book. Klaus, Sunny, and Violet joined Madame Lulu's carnival. They dressed themselves up as freaks so Count Olaf wouldn't recognize them. At the end, Violet and Klaus were in an RV being pulled by Count Olaf himself. Count Olaf has someone cut the cord that attaches the RV to the car and pulls away with Sunny. I highly recommend this book.
The book has a phrase that is repeated through the book whenever the children are about to be in a bad situation. "Back in the belly of the beast" was repeated about nine times in this novel and every time something bad happened. For example, when the cord attaching the car to the RV was cut; also when they figured out he knew who they were.
The book was very exciting. At many points, I could not set the book down. The events in the book were so extreme. When Olaf said to push the children, I thought they would die.
The book had a thrilling ending. Olaf was able to escape from Violet and Klaus with their baby sister. IN real life, he wouldn't have been able to pull off stealing their sister, so it was more fictional, but a great ending. The ending is not cliché because the villain got away.
The book had many creative characters. One of the characters was a contortionist; another was a humpback; another was a wolf baby. I suggest this book to seventh graders.

I thought this book was a lot better than the others because the plot changed and the suspense increased a lot........2007-04-30

The plot definitely changed a lot because instead of Count Olaf going to find the Baudelaires, the Baudelaires were where Olaf was. We finally get to find out how Olaf always knew where the Baudelaires were, and where one of the Baudelaire parents or Lemony Snicket might be. There was a nice build of suspense in the end because you had no idea who was going to be thrown in the pit, and you did not know that this book would end with such a cliffhanger.
I liked that the book ended with such suspense because it has gotten me to want to read the next book to see what happens. This book is definitely not as boring as some of the others were. I think the suspense will continue to build hopefully to a good ending.

thank you for your time,

The Carnivorous Carnival.......2007-04-17

Book Review
"The Carnivorous Carnival"
I thought that this book was very good. It is about the three Baudelaires. This time they find themselves riding through the hinterlands in the trunk of the person they've been running from. All throughout the book they have different problems involving their dreaded enemy, Count Olaf. Also during the book, they have a brush with death involving some very hungry lions. Overall I though it was a good book and I would recommend you to read it.

Stupendous book!!!!!!!!!!.......2007-03-24

I love this book. It's a funny, cool (not to mention super) big, fun book.
I'm reading the whole Lemony Snicket series.
You should check out a book or two from the library from this series.
Hope you thought this review was helpful.

Picking up from the final pages of the Pentultimate Peril, this farewell installment to the ridiculously (and deservedly!) popular A Series of Unfortunate Events places our protagonists right where we last left them: on a large, wooden boat in the middle of the ocean, trapped with their nemesis Count Olaf, who has armed himself with a helmet-full of deadly Medusoid Mycelium.

The situation quickly and--this being the Baudelaires--predictably deteriorates. Violet, Klaus, and Sunny find themselves tossed in a storm so terrible that our beloved narrator spends four pages describing how he cannot describe it. From this point on, fans of the series' smarty-pants wordplay and acrobatic narrative can rest assured that they're in for more of the same (and how) in this 368-page finale, and Daniel Handler's deadpan Snicket continues to tutor a generation in self-referential humor (including one particularly funny bit regarding three very short men carrying a large, flat piece of wood, painted to look like a living room). Snicket notes, of course, that if you read the entire series, "your only reward will be 170 chapters of misery in your library and countless tears in your eyes."

There's one big question, though, for anyone who's made it through "the thirteenth chapter of the thirteenth volume in this sad history": is the final book a fitting end? That question is probably best-answered by one of The End's most oft-repeated phrases: It depends on how you look at it. Those looking for conclusive resolution to the series' many, many mysteries may be disappointed, although some big questions do get explicit answers. Not surprisingly for a work so deliberately labyrinthine, though, even the absence of an answer can be sort of an answer--and reaction to The End can be something of a Rorschach test for readers. Or, as Lemony Snicket says, "Perhaps you don't know yet what the end really means." --Paul Hughes

Book Description

Dear Listener,

You are presumably looking at the back of this audiobook, or the end of the end. The end of the end is the best place to begin the end, because if you listen to the end from the beginning of the beginning of the end to the end of the end of the end, you will arrive at the end of the end of your rope. This audiobook is the last in A Series of Unfortunate Events, and even if you braved the previous twelve volumes, you probably can't stand such unpleasantries as a fearsome storm, a suspicious beverage, a herd of wild sheep, an enormous bird cage, and a truly haunting secret about the Baudelaire parents.

I also shouldn't mention the features of the interactive CD, which include:

Perplexing word games
Photos from The Lemony Snicket Archives
Art from The Brett Helquist gallery

It has been my solemn occupation to complete the history of the Baudelaire orphans, and at last I am finished. You likely have some other occupation, so if I were you I would drop this audiobook at once, so the end does not finish you.

With all due respect,

Lemony Snicket

THE FINAL FIRE!.......2007-06-27

PLOT: In this book, the Baudelaire orphans are shipwreched with Count Olaf onto an "abandoned" island far away from civilaztion and meet a stranger with a certain book who turns out to be more important that you would think. Without spoiling anything, all that I'll say is that the harpoon gun and the Medusoid Mycelium return, and that there's a Chapter 14 (epilogue). Plus, a friend from one of the earlier books is back - but you'll NEVER guess who!! Lastly, let me tell you that at a certain part of the story, there's a Biblical reference that is very interesting to see how Daniel Handler/Lemony Snicket portrays in literature. I think that's it's safe to say that The End was very expecteded by all Snicket fans, but that there was a bit of disappointment when people actually read the book. Well, as far as I know, it's all based on opinion becasue even though some people hated the book, others (including myself) enjoyed it even more than the other twelve! True, the sugar bowl mystery was not resolved, but clues in other books hint to its contents. The VFD mystery is in fact solved, but the reader must pay close attention to what Lemony Snicket says. When you get to the end of the book, the identity of Beatrice is the best you'll love to read because it was so unpredictable (although The Beatrice Letters (A Series of Unfortunate Events) gives you clues). Overall, if you've read all of the books in the series - do not even think twice about reading this one...just do! The cover says it all: this is a very "unfortunate" book. IT IS ABSOLUTELY GREAT (specially Count Olaf's hilarious and unique disguise)! One more thing: Kit Snicket gives birth (I am not sure whether this is a spoiler or not becasue it was kind of obvious that it would happen in the last book, but it was still worth mentioning). The World Is Quiet Here.

A good ending to an "unfortunate" series........2007-06-21

I loved the last line of this book. It fit perfectly with the whole series and summed up the whole series. I would have liked to have seen more of some characters, but I liked where this last installment of the series took the Baudelaires. I loved how you finally figure out where the name of the series came from and who it involves. I've never seen an author make up a sort of pen name and then integrate that into the books. I think this series was well written even though some of the plots were a little over redundant. All and all I'm glad I stuck with the series till the end of "The End" even when I wanted to put the books down (as Lemony Snicket has said) before the end of "The End."

thank you for your time,
Loran

The Great Book.......2007-06-13

Dear Reader,

"A Series of Unfortunate Events" by Lemony Snicket is a great book to read on the go. For example, if you are on a trip with your embarrassing parents, you might want to dive into an interesting book. When I saw the 13th book in the stores I was so excited! When I read that _______________. I was so shocked, I couldn't believe that ___________________. Oops... Did I forget to fill in the blanks? Well this is what happens... After the 12th book comes the 13th. In the 12th book the children burn down a hotel. So, that's were the 13th book starts off... Count Olaf and the 3 Baudelaire's are on a boat not knowing what will happen. They don't know what he contains in his helmet! Will they be infected? Will the water be infected? Or will the children throw him overboard...? I really recommend this book because there are so many questions to be answered and reading this book will help you answer them.

LEMONY SNICKET IS VERY COOL.......2007-06-09

It's very hard to read this book because you know it's the last one. I've enjoy all the books equally. If you didn't read it, buy all the books and have a great great time.

In this rollicking read-aloud Western, meet Joanna and Susanna, the ultimate cowgirls!

What if cows could be cowgirls? One day in the pasture, just chewing on cud, Joanna and Susanna imagine themselves as the fun-loving Buckamoooo Girls. The Buckamoooo Girls ride through the Wild West—roping steers, sharing a meal out in the open air, and dancing “by the light of the moooooon.”

This hilarious daydream of a picture book, created by two Westerners, shows that there are few things better than a horse ride under a big sky, and a friend to share it with.

A wonderfully upbeat and carefree picturebook........2007-02-04

Imaginative author Ellen A. Kelley and award-willing illustrator Tom Curry present Buckamoo Girls, a children's picturebook about a pair of ordinary cows who dream about being a "cowgirl" team in the Old West. A bouncy rhyme complements the exuberant, colorful illustrations of the Buckamoo Girls' exploits, from square dancing to rodeo rustling to singing by campfire and moonlight. A wonderfully upbeat and carefree picturebook. "Yer cowgirl ride / sets with the sun. / You were cowgirls / jest fer fun!"

A rootin', tootin', boot-scootin' read-aloud!.......2006-09-26

Yee-haw! Susanna and Joanna, two day-dreaming cows, trade in their cuds for a taste of the wrangler life - - with udderly delightful results! They herd cattle, chow down at the chuckwagon, swing their pardners 'round and 'round at the hoedown, then bunk down for the night under a Western moon, dreaming anew of their Buckamoo adventures. Poet Kelley has written a rollicking read-aloud that will inspire kids to grap their hats, pull on their boots and laugh, clap, sing right along. Curry's illustrations are hilarious and heart-warming. A must for cowpokes and city-slickers alike.

The seventh book in Lemony Snicket's splendidly gloomy Series of Unfortunate Events shadows the three Baudelaire orphans as they plummet headlong into their next misadventure. Mr. Poe, their ineffective legal guardian, having exhausted all options for finding them a new home with relatives (including their 19th cousin), sadly entrusts his young charges' fate to a progressive guardian program formed with the premise "It takes a village to raise a child." Before they know it, the Baudelaires are being whisked off on a bus to a village (vile) named "V.F.D." Snicket fans who read The Austere Academy and The Ersatz Elevator will jump to see these three initials, as they provide a clue to the tragic disappearance of the Baudelaires' friends, the beloved, equally orphaned Quagmire triplets.

To the orphans' dismay, V.F.D. is covered in crows--so much so that the whole village is pitch-black and trembling. "The crows weren't squawking or cawing, which is what crows often do, or playing the trumpet, which crows practically never do, but the town was far from silent. The air was filled with the sounds the crows made as they moved around." Another disturbing element of the town is that the Council of Elders (who wear creepy crow hats) has thousands of rules, such as "don't hurt crows" and "don't build mechanical devices." Fortunately, the Baudelaires are taken in by a kindly handyman named Hector who cooks them delicious Mexican food and secretly breaks rules. Still, neither Hector nor an entire village can protect the orphans from the clutches of the money-grubbing Count Olaf, who has relentlessly pursued them (actually, just their fortune) since The Bad Beginning. Fans won't want to miss any of this marvelously morbid series! (Ages 9 and older) --Karin Snelson

Book Description

Dear Listener,

Nobody in their right minds would listen to this particular book about the lives of Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire on purpose, because each dismal moment of their stay at the village of V.F.D. has been faithfully and dreadfully recorded on this CD.

I can think of no reason why anyone would want to listen to a book containing such unpleasant matters as migrating crows, an angry mob, a newspaper headline, the Duluxe Cell, and some very strange hats.

I also shouldn't mention the interactive features of the CD, which include:

A perplexing word game • Photos from The Lemony Snicket Archives • Art from The Brett Helquist gallery

It is my solemn and sacred occupation to research each detail of the Baudelaire children's lives and write them all down, but you may decide to do some other sacred and solemn thing, such as listening to another book instead.

With all due respect,
Lemony Snicket

The seventh and the best.......2007-05-26

I highly recommend The Vile Village by Lemony Snicket to anyone who is looking for a fun, quick read. This story is about the three Baudelaire orphans whose lives are always full of adventure and mystery. I could not put The Vile Village down. With every page there is another surprise. In my opinion Lemony Snicket's style of writing is excellent and all books in this series are great.

Anything BUT Vile, This Series Keeps Getting Better!.......2007-05-13

I really dig the Series of Unfortunate Events books. The appeal lies somewhere between: because many people just "don't get it" and the fact that the stories are morbidly fun and fly by in a breeze.

Vile Village (Book 7 of 13) follows the strong pacing of the series best books (Reptile Room and Austere Academy). The Beaudelaire Orphans find themselves in a unique surrounding, with a somewhat helpful guardian...BUT...then everything unravels around them.

Count Olaf (Omar) is especially humorous in this story and the added elements that help tie up loose ends from previous books, while creating new ones for the remainder of the series (including the connecting threads to "author" Lemony Snicket) make the reading doubly rewarding for fans of the series.

It was actually a pretty good read. possibly some spoilers........2007-04-15

Hey again to all you readers. It's been two months since my last book review, which was on the sixth book. So I guess you could say that slacked off a little on my Snicket reading. I actually thought this book was pretty good. I automatically knew who Count Olaf was half way through the book along with one of his newer accomplices. I also knew where the Quagmires were hidden right away. There were some surprises or twists for me that I found as I was reading. I had originally thought that Olaf would eventually kill Hector because him along with the Baudelaires had planned to escape with his self-sustaining hot air balloon motor home. In some of the previous books like books 2 & 3 their caretakers are murdered soon after they set up a plan to live happily ever after with the Baudelaires. I had also thought that the Baudelaires would have made it into the hot air balloon, and then have Esme shoot it down. I was also uncertain whether or not the Quagmires would be able to finally get away from Olaf. I thought it was nice to see Hector accomplish his dream of fleeing the V.F.D. along with the Quagmires who were happy to be flying away from Olaf. Finding out what the V.F.D stood for in the beginning of the book was not exciting like I thought would have been. The book also mentions that Snicket has committed some crimes, so i'm looking forward to seeing that story progress as more of the Baudelaire's lives ahead unfold. I'm also hoping to see more of the Quagmires. I also thought it was a nice ending. The books are definitely fast for me to read. It only takes me about 2 hours to read one of the books now because i've learned to skip over the meanings of the words, and unnecessary detail at the being of each chapter. I'm looking forward to seeing how the series ends, and i'm hoping to see more plot twists, and more information on the passage ways that lead to Esme's elevator shaft and the destroyed Baudelaire mansion.

Thank you for your time,
Loran

Andy's Review.......2007-02-23

This was a very, very good book. Out of all the first seven books, this has been the best. In fact every new book I get it seems to get a little bit better.

This book brings the Orphans to the town of V.F.D. The Orphans new guardian, Hector, is the handyman of the town. The town's Police wrongly arrest a man with one eyebrow and a tattoo of an eye on his left ankle but he is definately not Count Olaf, but the police officer that arrested him is. Now he is trying to wrongly arrest the orphans on a charge of murder. Can the Orphans escape his clutches once more?

This book is probobly good for any ages above 8. Because not only is it written just perfect enough for it not to be to easy but it is also not to hard. It is also very easy to get into.

The Vile Village .......2007-02-20

This is a book of very unfortunate events, that is highly disturbing and sad at times. It's a very mysterious and impressive book I thought. This book starts with a fifteen year old lady named Vioet, and her two siblings Klaus and Sunny. They are trying to find their parents , who they lost during a fire. And they are on the run from a evil man. Every clue they find leads to another. Oh yes, did I tell you they are in the middle of nowhere . Lemony Snicket , the auther did a really good job with this book. Take it for a spin
