Tag: 5 Star Reviews

Dear Reader,  Unless you are a slug, a sea anemone, or mildew, you probably prefer not to be damp. You might also prefer not to read this book, in which the Baudelaire siblings encounter an unpleasant amount of dampness as they descend into the depths of despair, underwater. 

This book is the 11th book in the “A Series of Unfortunate Events” series. And I really hate the fact that I only have 2 books left until I finish this series. I don’t want this to happen because I love this series so much.

To be fully honest, the action in this book is very high. And I loved it. The action in this book takes place under the water. 

And this book almost destroyed my life, when sunny was infected by a fast working virus. I wouldn’t have cried for years if Sunny have died. And that shows how much I love Violet, Klaus and Sunny.

This book has a huge life lesson in it, and this life lesson is that “People aren’t either wicked or noble”. And we learn this lesson from no other than the hook-handed man from Count Olaf’s trop. I didn’t expect it to come from him.

In this book we truly learn of truly insufferable Carmelita Spats is. Really can’t understand how Count Olaf stand her. If I was him I would have throw her off the submarine within minutes.

To be fully honest I didn’t love this book as the rest of the book in the series. But still this book is amazing in my opinion of course.  Which is really sad for me to say, because now thus book is the 3rd books which really disappointed in a way in this series.

I Give This Book 5 / 5

Dear Reader, Like handshakes, house pets, or raw carrots, 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. In order to spare you any further repulsion, it would be best not to mention any of the unpleasant details of this story, particularly a secret message, a toboggan, a deceitful map, a swarm of snow gnats, a scheming villain, a troupe of organized youngsters, a covered casserole dish, and a surprising survivor of a terrible fire.

This is the 10th book in the “A Series of Unfortunate Events” series. After finishing this book I relied that I have only 3 books left in this series.

But I also relied that Sunny, isn’t the same character as she was in the first book because she has grown a lot since the first book. She walks in this book and she is developing her talent. Violet is the engineer, Klaus is the researcher and sunny is the chief. I completely love the fact that Sunny is developing her own talent. 

The beginning of this book was a little bit slow, to be fully honest. But it quickly made up for the fact. 

To be fully honest I didn’t love this book as the rest of the book in the series. But still this book is amazing in my opinion of course. 

The action in this book is lower than in the precious books, but it is still there. And it is still incredible fun to follow the action in this book just to see where it will takes us. 

The characters are still as amazing as in the previous books in this series. If you compare this book and the first book then you can truly see the character development happening for Violet, Klaus and Sunny. 

After finishing this book, I’ve realised that the books are getting longer and longer. And I love this fact because I can spend longer time on this series.

In this book we learn the meaning of VFD, and we meet a new amazing character which of course is Quigley. But also Carmelita Spats makes a return in this book and she joins no other than Count Olaf and his Co of weird people. 

I Give This Book 5 / 5

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

There is nothing to be found in the pages of these books but misery and despair. You still have time to choose something else to read. But if you must know what unpleasantries befall the charming and clever Baudelaire children read on…The Hostile Hospital – There are many pleasant things to read about, but this book contains none of them. Within its pages are such burdensome details as a suspicious shopkeeper, unnecessary surgery, heartshaped balloons, and some very starling news about a fire. Clearly you do not want to read about such things.

I need to admit that I almost gave this book a 4 star rating. Because this book is much weaker than the previous 7 books in this series.

The plot in this book goes much darker than in the previous books. Because in this book Count Olaf and his Co, are trying to decapitated Violet’s head as one of his get-rich schemes. 

The character are so amazing. They are even better than they were in the first book in this series. You can truly see the character development happen in each book which is the most satisfying thing to see in this series.

The writing style in this book, as in this series as a whole (so far) is incredible. Its so good, that I can’t even put words to it. You really have to read this series to really understand what I’m talking about.

However this book is different from the previous book. Because we don’t see count Olaf personally in this book but rather him talking through an intercom and ordering is trop to do the work for him.  

In this book Violet, Klaus and Sunny or on the Run because the newspapers have painted them as as murders. So this is a unique turn of events for this series. 

And the ending is well unique. Because Violet, Klaus and Sunny decide to do a very stupid and brave thing. Which I would never do if I was in their situation. Of course I can’t say what I’m talking about because I don’t want to give spoiler in this review.

I Give This Book 5 / 5

Dear Reader, You have undoubtedly picked up this book by mistake, so please put it down. Nobody in their right mind would read this particular book about the lives of Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire on purpose, because each dismal moment of their stay in the village of V.F.D. has been faithfully and dreadfully recorded in these pages. I can think of no single reason why anyone would want to open a book containing such unpleasant matters as migrating crows, an angry mob, a newspaper headline, the arrest of innocent people, the Deluxe Cell, and some very strange hats. 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 prefer to do some other solemn and sacred thing, such as reading another book instead.

To be fully honest, in my opinion has to be the weakest book in the series so far. But I still loved it but a little bit less than the previous 6 books in the series

This book really surprised me a lot because this book in a way left the whole Olaf chasing after the kids topic a little bit behind in this book. And this book was rather a Hot Fuzz situation, where the entire town used Violet, Klaus and Sunny as slaves to do the houses of everyone in town. The house work which Violet, Klaus and Sunny had to do, was take out the garbage, clean the fountain in town centre etc.

As I’ve said the plot was a different from the previous 6 books, which maybe is the reason why I loved this book less than the previous books. But I still had my fun with it, and I kept waiting for when would Count Olaf show up in town.

In this book we get very little of Count Olaf and his Co. To be fully honest we see Count Olaf in the last 3 chapters or so.

After reading this book I was left with 2 questions. The first question is how does Count Olaf always know where Violet, Klaus and Sunny are? And the second question is how does Count Olaf get the ideas for new schemes and new disguises ?

In this book, Klaus has his birthday, he is finally 13 if I remember correctly. Of course his birthday wasn’t ideal. To be fully honest if I had a birthday like his I would be pissed. But that pretty much summarise up this entire series doesn’t it? Being followed by unfortunate and very sad events isn’t the best.

I Give This Book 5 / 5

Dear Reader, If you have just picked up this book, 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.

This book is the 6th book in the “A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS” series. And so far this series gets better and better which each book.

I need to gives this book to having a twist in it which we didn’t see coming which really surprised me. 

During the beginning of this book and the middle part of it we don’t see Count Olaf a lot, which really made it better because it us even bigger eerie feeling of not knowing what he was doing or when he will eventually turn up.

Violet, Klaus and Sunny are getting smarter, and they find new unique ways to catch Count Olaf and make the adults see that they were telling the truth about who Count Olaf is, in his new disguise.

The plot in this book is amazing. Because Violet, Klaus and Sunny get new guardian, the female guardian is a rich snob and the male guardian is actually very likeable character if it wasn’t for the fact that he goes all along with his wife’s snobby opinions. 

The character are so amazing. They are even better than they were in the first book in this series. You can truly see the character development happen in each book which is the most satisfying thing to see in this series.

The writing style in this book, as in this series as a whole (so far) is incredible. Its so good, that I can’t even put words to it. You really have to read this series to really understand what I’m talking about.

There is a lot of adventure and mystery in this book just as in the previous 5 books in this series. Which might be the reason why I love this books so far.

I Give This Book 5 / 5

Dear Reader,  If you are looking for a story about cheerful youngsters spending a jolly time at boarding school, look elsewhere. Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are intelligent and resourceful children, and you might expect that they would do very well at school. Don’t. For the Baudelaires, school turns out to be another miserable episode in their unlucky lives. 

Another amazing book from the “series of unfortunate events” series. This book is the 5th book in the series.

The character are so amazing. They are even better than they were in the first book in this series. You can truly see the character development happen in each book which is the most satisfying thing to see in this series.

Violet, Klaus and Sunny are getting smarter, and they find new unique ways to catch Count Olaf and make the adults see that they were telling the truth about who Count Olaf is, in his new disguise.

However we get very little of Count Olaf in this book. In the previous books he had more or less a role near Violet, Klaus and Sunny but not its a little bit different. 

This book has the same amazing, eerie vibe which the first book had. To be honest it might have even bigger eerie vibe than the first book. Because we are on the 5th book so we know that Count Olaf will turn up with his troop and with his schemes very soon. 

The plot in this book is amazing. Because Violet, Klaus and Sunny are send to a boarding school. And Violet, Klaus And Sunny gets new friends. But at the same time the principle is an idiot and not the kindest person.

I have one question about this series so far. And that question is how is Count Olaf able to find Violet, Klaus and Sunny so fast as he does ? 

The writing style in this book, as in this series as a whole (so far) is incredible. Its so good, that I can’t even put words to it. You really have to read this series to really understand what I’m talking about.

There is a lot of adventure and mystery in this book just as in the previous 4 books in this series. Which might be the reason why I love this books so far.
