Rating:  Summary: The Carnivorous Carnival Review: This is a great book for us kids under 13. I think this book is the best book of the series. It is way more exciting than all the other. Although this is a great book there are twists in the book it is a little confusing but at the end you will understand it. In this book there are new charecters and they make it cool and awesome too. I if you are thinking about buying it i think you should go right and buy it is so good. All of the things i told about this book you would be crazy not buy it.
Rating:  Summary: IF YOU HAVE ANY SENSE YOU"LL READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!! Review: Sorry 'bout the title. But seriously, this is a book you won't to miss the new book in the series. Sometimes you'll find that people say that Lemony Snicket's(Daniel Handler actually)occasional comments are intrusive and annoying, but I find them to be interesting,explanatory,decisive,humorous, and they build up the suspense. In the book Violet,Klaus,and Sunny find themselves in the trunk of Count Olaf's car. Then in a "carnival" the Baudelaire children dress up as freaks in order to obtain information about the possibility of a surviving parent. They are rudely insulted along with the other not so freakish freaks, when they find out one freak will be thrown into a pit of lions(won't tell you the rest, you'll have to find out for yourself!). I just got the book today, and when I started I couldn't put it down. I just finished it a few hours ago, and it never gets boring.LEMONY SNICKET HAS DONE IT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rating:  Summary: It Was Pretty Good Review: It wasn't the best ASOUE book, but it was still good. The ending made you want the next book NOW!!! But it had too much detail and too many side stories, you would have to flip a page or two to get back to the real story. Also, it was freaky and kinda too violent talking about lions devouring people. And insulting people and calling them freaks was mean. But the book was still good. I can't wait for the next one.
Rating:  Summary: My favorite series in the whole wide world Review: This book was particularly amazing and exciting. The thrill and adventure captured my breath and left my thirsty for more. This novel was the greatest out of the entire series. If only Lemony Snicket would keep on writing the series for the rest of his life so that I could keep on cherishing the moments by this enchanting series until I was dead. If only, if only the woodpecker cried...
Rating:  Summary: Lemony Does It Again Review: Lemony Snicket does it once again with the ninth installment in his series. The book has to be one of the best ones in the series. The ninth novel starts out with Lemony talking about his journey through the years finding all the information on the Baudlaires lives. After it skips to the story...The ninth book is about the Baudlaires traveling once again but instead of walkign they are crammmed in a trunk of a car and not any ordinary car Count Olaf's car (the evil villan after their million doller fortune). They are now stranded at an old carnival sight. Not to be discovered by the Count they disguise themsleves as freaks (EX: sunny is diguised as a wolf baby) for a carnival actraction. but, the Baudlaires get into more nail bitting situations in this book and will keep you on the edge of your seat. With even more evil villians, fortune tellers, carnival freaks, and a lion pit you won't put this down until you finish. I also love who Lemony writes to the editors about the next book. He has his own unique way of writing and the illistrations are awesome as well. I can't wait for the next one. Check out The House On Awful End if you like Lemony Snicket. The books are like the Unfortunate Events Books!
Rating:  Summary: IT WAS A GOOD BOOK Review: Yes, I thought it was a very good book, but it did get kinda boring. Sorry but in the middle he kept interupting the story with those def. for the big words he used. He adds a little to much detail into the this story. Don't get me wrong, but I think you all half to admit that it was really not that unfortunate. Yes! Yes! He got their sis. (sorry gave away the end)! But at least they know where he's going.
Rating:  Summary: In the Belly of the Beast!! Review: I am the #1 fan of all the Lemony Snicket books (The Bad Beginning, The Reptile Room, The Wide Window, The Miserable Mill, The Austere Academy, The Ersatz Elevator, The Vile Village, The Hostile Hospital, Lemony Snicket:The Unathourized Autobiography) and now The Carnivorous Carnival (Which I just finished reading moments ago in the bathroom by the way). My favorite is defenitly The Carnivorous Carnival. The ending is so suspenseful!!!! And it is DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!! Why did it have such a gigantic cliffhanger at the end!!! I can not wait until Book the Tenth The Slippery Slope comes out!!!!!!
Rating:  Summary: Now THAT'S a cliffhanger Review: Reading the Series of Unfortunate Events is like trying to put together a jigsaw puzzle with only a few of the pieces, having no idea how many pieces there are supposed to be and without the picture on the cover of the box because your brother lost it. And I mean this as a compliment. Nine books down and we still have far more questions than answers. Each time we get a puzzle piece, instead of making things clearer, we just wind up getting more confused about how it's supposed to fit in. It's hard to discuss the plot of this book without spoiling the previous eight, so if you haven't read those other ones, go read 'em now. This time out the Baudelaire orphans are forced to disguise themselves as freaks in the Caligari Carnival (love references like that), desperate to hunt down a the truth about their parents, Count Olaf, Jaques Snicket and V.F.D. By the end of the book they have no more truths than they began with, but they do have a place to look next, assuming they get out of what has to be one of the best cliffhanger endings I've ever seen in a kid's book. HOW long are we supposed to wait for "The Slippery Slope"?
Rating:  Summary: The Carnivorous Carnival Review: The Carnivorous Carnival By:Lemony Snicket Reviewed by:K. Shimamoto Period:1 This book is much like the previous books of the Unfortunate Series collection. The three Baudelaires, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny are being pursued by Count Olaf. He continuously tries to steal the Baudelaire fortune, but each of his schemes are failures. The three children are now in the hinterlands at a hideous and terrible carnival, the Caligari Carnival. They undergo many horrible things during their stay at this carnival, but somehow get through it. In the end though, it almost seems like Count Olaf has finally captured one of the Baudelaires, and has gotten rid of the other two, but you never know. This book was enjoyable because, the plots are so interesting, like all of the books are. The story is written in a way that makes you want to keep reading. Another thing I liked about it was, it was a book that you could read in a day or two. It's not like one of those books that you have to struggle through to finish. I also like how Sunny, the youngest Baudelaire who's only a baby, has her own kind of "baby language", but you can understand what she is saying because the author translates. For example she would say,"Whaque", but she meant, "or pretending to be surgeons." I didn't like this book because, at times when there is a good suspenseful part of the book coming up the author will interupt in the middle of it. He would put a story about something else, that kind of relates to what was actually happening in the book. I also don't like how some of the characters are treated. Even though it's fiction, some parts can get frustrating. My favorite part of the book was when Count Olaf told the Baudelaires that he knew who they were all along. It wasn't exactly the best part of the book, but it was pretty surprising. I didn't expect that to happen at all. All in all I thought this book was fun and very enjoyable.
Rating:  Summary: I a car with your nemisis, kinda freaky............. Review: Boy was this book one of my favorites. Violet, Klaus, and Sunny are stuck in the trunk of a car which is being driven by their nemisis, Count Olaf. Kinda freaky huh. The 9th of this series I think is one of the best. The Baudelaires have a fun and joyful time at the Caligari Carnival pretending to be a two headed freak whose names are Beverly and Elliot who are accompanied by Chabo the wolf baby. But you will have to figure out what kind of mess that they get into this time.
