The End (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 13)

300 reviews
Lemony Snicket

HarperChildren's Audio, 2006

I actually liked the ending!
I have found myself in huge fights with friends and family over "How good" this book is. And I continue to stand by my decision that this was not only a fitting ending to the series but a total masterpiece of modern-day children's literature. And I've seen the complaints about questions left unanswered and series lack of action. My response: Who cares? Is action the same thing as good ...

The Vile Village (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 7)

Village of Vileness
Now here in this book is some of the emotion for which we have been waiting! Snicket takes a clever and hilarious spin on that old adage of "It's take a village to raise a child" in an freakishy bizarre social experiment that grants us an exciting world of scary birds and flying machines. The book is both sister and quirky, far more than usual, and shows a definite growth in plot and ...

The Penultimate Peril (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 12)

Twists are coming together
Ah, now nice! Our favorite little orphans-of-tragedy get to hang out with some rich relatives in a snobby apartment building! Snicket introduces a nice new landscape, more mystery, and some developments that are very nice shockers. Not the best of the series, but nice-enough pacing and a [not-so]-pleasant story to keep up the action and plot.

Ersatz Elevator Exceptionally Enjoyable
Ersatz Elevator is another in the Series of Unfortunate Events series. As with the previous stories, it does not disappoint. I love reading about the Baudelaires and their ability to overcome adversity. I will continue to read the series even though warned that the situations are often dire and could upset my stomach.

The Bad Beginning (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 1)

Lousy
Absolutely enchanting. If grief and horror could ever be so practically and charmingly applied in the real world, it would probably be a better place. The writing style may off-set some, but it's quirky, odd, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's an off-beat story with unexpectedly powerful heart.

A Lot of Mystery and High-Class Vocabulary

Join them on their woeful adventures to different guardians in the Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket. In the 5th book of this series (The Austere Academy) Violet, Klaus, and Sunny are at their 5th home, a low-class academy with mean ...

The Slippery Slope

PCE Student Review
My favorite book is The Slippery Slope by Lemony Snicket. It is a mystery about good vs. evil. My favorite character is sunny. She is a little baby who loves to bite and is always helping them get out of trouble with her very sharp teeth. The author's writing style is smart because she makes them get out of traps in smart ways and she leaves lot's of suspense. I love this book because at the ...

"The Hostile Hospital"
This has got to be one of my most favorite book throughout the series! Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudalaire are three wealthy, intelligent children who become orphans after their parents have been killed in a fire that destroyed their entire home. They meet their gaurdian, Count Olaf, a cruel man whose trying to steal their fortune their parents left behind! Now, the three of them must escape from ...

The Lump of Coal

Lemony Snicket

HarperCollins, 2008

A small, flammable miracle
This book made me laugh until I cried. It really did. Yes, I'm a children's book author too. No, gosh no, I don't know Mr. Lemony Snicket. And I've never even read any of his other books! But I sure am going to read every one of them now. This isn't a book for the youngest picture book crowd- they just won't get the humor. It might even be a stretch for the older picture book crowd. But 9 to ...

The Grim Grotto (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 11)

247 reviews
Lemony Snicket

HarperChildren's Audio, 2004

Perfect
This is possibly the best book in the entire series, in my opinion. Maybe it's the fact that I'm a water baby. Or maybe I'm a sucker for geeky people. Or maybe I just think the mystery, drama, and humor in this one was excellent! Whatever the reason, this was a series highlight for me. And to think it all takes place underwater on a submarine known affectionately as the Queequeg, where there ...

4th Grade Reader Strikes Gold in Lemony Snicket
These books are exceptionally great. My son has struggled to find books that are the right speed for him and the right tone, genre, etc. He doesn't like overly scary books, sports books, fantasy, and a bunch of other common genres with anything reasonable at his reading level. Lemony Snicket has great story lines, great use of humor, and vocabulary that's a little stretch (but always ...

Love This Series!
Fabulous. I'm really looking forward to reading them to my daughter (currently aged 4 months).

A Warning
If you are thinking of reading this review, first be forewarned that it contains very little happiness in it at all. Inside the pages of the books that this review reviews, you will find such terrible things as orphaned children, a greedy villain out to steal a fortune, an incompetent banker (the word 'incompetent' here means, 'unable to protect or even remotely assist the Baudelaire orphans in ...

The Wide Window (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 3)

227 reviews

HarperChildren's Audio, 2003

Window of Wideness
I was absolutely charmed by the setting and description used in this book as the Baudelaires find themselves in yet another horrid predicament. The author continues to use some incredibly clever humor that is at the same time very serious even as it is goofy--fantastic and intelligent combination. I was also very impressed at the insertion of riddles to reveal the story's mysteries. One of the ...

The Complete Wreck (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Books 1-13)

Lemony Snicket

HarperCollins, 2006

brilliant
My children are 7 + 8, a boy and girl, and they absolutely love it (almost as much as I enjoy reading it to them!) I can see it would be thoroughly enjoyable for boys and girls up until the ages of 12 or 13 and perhaps beyond. The stories weave through the terrible circumstances of three siblings giving snippets of Snickets own experiences with the fiendishly clever Olaf, who manages to conceal ...

McSweeney's, 2005

sweet
The general impression is that it's a collection of stories that the authors would have like to read when they were kids. Some of them may be scary to the announced age group (4-7) but most are just sweet. For the adult many of them will remind the reader how it was to be a kid. And for the kid, this will make them feel vindicated for many injustices they suffer, like the loud mean boy that ...

The Latke Who Couldn't Stop Screaming: A Christmas Story

25 reviews
Lemony Snicket

McSweeney's, 2007

A story that educates and entertains
A latke makes a quick getaway from a frying pan hoping to challenge its fate, and so begins this Chanukah adventure. Along its journey, the latke encounters a Christmas tree, Christmas lights and a candy cane. Lemony Snicket's, The Latke Who Couldn't Stop Screaming: a Christmas Story, is a clever tale that offers a cursory overview of the history and meaning of Chanukah; simultaneously presenting ...

Lemony Snicket: The Unauthorized Autobiography

Lemony Snicket

Harpercollins Childrens Books, 2002

A good book
You should read this book if you are done reading the A Series of Unfortunate Events books. You know how the Series of Unfortunate Events is sort of mysterious? Because Lemony Snicket the Unauthorized Autobiography unlocks some of the secrets in the books. Like it tells you who Beatrice is, and other secrets like that. It is a good book.

Listening Library (Audio), 2001

PCE Student Review
My favorite book is the Reptile Room. The author is lemony Snicker. The theme is good and bad. My favorite charter is sunny. This Is why I like this I charter. Sunny meets the incredibly deadly viper, and the snake bites sunny on the chin. Sunny bites the snake back! The incredibly deadly viper is not deadly so sunny and the snake became friends. The author writes something bad and makes it ...
