Snicket's Twisty book (0/0 people found this helpful)

This book you want to buy, has so many twists i cannot count. When the Baudilare orphans go from their school to a hotel on a dark, dark street, they know this couldn't be a perfect home. After climbing the stairs which seemed to take forever, they meet the cheerfull Jerome, oh, and Esme.

Esme is obsessed about whats "In," which would be parsley soda, pinstriped suits, orphans and the dark. Despite their new foster mother they love Jerome, and he loves them. He wants to buy the children everything they desire, tools, books and biting materials. But then something happens, and when they turn to Esme, somthing else happens. Huge twists. And the Baudilares end up in catacombs, trying to find a way out, and see a blast from the past............

Can they save their friends? Can they tell Jerome all about his wife? Will Count Olaf or "Gunther" get away?

I personly think this is the best book in the sereis so ingnore Lemony Snickets warning. After having a miserable a Prufrock prep in the Austere AcademyThe Austere Academy (A Series of Unfortunate Events No.5)<.The Baudelaire (i think thats how you spell it)orphans go to 667 Dark Avenue to live with Mr and Mrs Squalor only to find Count Olaf found them again. This book has more of a sense of mystery with a bit less misery and more of the "element of suprise" Thosewho like bieng more miserable shoud skip to the the vile villageThe Vile Village #7 (Series of Unfortunate Events) but if not get htis book now!

I am ten years old and I cant see why people think that this series of books is to unfortunate for us to read.
you are certainly not unfortunate if you pick up this book of a shelf.
yes, it is true that not one happy thing happens in this book but does that really matter.
I couldn't put the book down .
every second your waiting for something good to happen next but it never does.
I would recommend this book to advanced readers and to anyone who doesn't mind an unhappy ending.

Unfortunate luck for the three! (13/15 people found this helpful)

This book is the sixth book in the series and nothing good is happening yet. 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 come across a darkened staircase, a red herring, three mysterious initials, a lair with an evil scheme, a secret passageway, and parsley soda.
I am writing this to warn you not to recommend this to you so take notice and heed my advice. This book I would give a rating of 9/ 10 because it is worryingly brilliant.

Probably my favourite series of unfortunate events book (0/1 people found this helpful)

I reccomend this book from the flawed but somewhat enjoyable series of books by Lemony Snicket. The positive things about this book are;
Lemony Snicket can sometimes be quite funny.
The plot of this book is exciting and it kept me interested.

There are some negative things about this book aswell, such as;
Although Lemony Snicket can be a bit funny, he repeats the same type of jokes a lot and they become dull when you want him to get on with the story.
Some of the mysteries from this book that you think will be answered in the final book aren't answered so if you read the whole series be prepared for a major let down at the end when some important questions aren't answered.

So, I reccomend this book but it has got a few flaws.
