“The Carnivorous Carnival” By Lemony Snicket Review

Dear reader, The word “carnivorous,” which appears in the title of this book, means “meat-eating,” and once you have read such a bloodthirsty word, there is no reason to read any further. 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.

This book is the 9th book in the “A Series of Unfortunate Events” series. Which is one of the best series ever written in my opinion.

In this book Violet, Klaus and Sunny creating their own adventure after hitting in the trunk of Count Olaf’s car. And this time the action take place at freak show carnival. 

The adventure in this book is amazing, every detail of it, grabs your attention more and more. And you won’t be able to stop reading it. 

The adventure here, is interesting, enjoyable but also very sad. Just as the 8 previous book in this series. 

The freak show carnival in this book, isn’t a “freak show carnival” because all the staff there are just normal human beings which some talents, like being very good at gymnastics.

The women which we meet in this book runs the carnival. And she is very complex character because she wants to be a good person and help Violet, Klaus and Sunny but she has a very unique life motto which is “give people what they want” so of course she ends up being manipulated by Count Olaf and tell him that the orphans are actually working at the carnival in disguise.

The characters in this book are so good. I know that I say the same things about the characters in this series during every review. But it really is true. Somehow the author is able to see what the readers like about the characters and build onto it so that we will fall in love with them more and more with each book in this series. 

The writing style is so amazing. It feels like you see the story happening with your own eyes rather than reading a book.

Ive noticed after finishing this book that the series gets better and better which each book. When you think that this series can’t get any better, it does get better with the next book you read in this series.

I Give This Book 5 / 5
