Tag: Book Reviews

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.

I Give This Book 5 / 5

Dear Reader, I hope, for your sake, that you have not chosen to read this book because you are in the mood for a pleasant experience. If this is the case, I advise you to put this book down instantaneously, because of all the books describing the unhappy lives of the Baudelaire orphans, The Miserable Mill might be the unhappiest yet. Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are sent to Paltryville to work in a lumber mill, and they find disaster and misfortune lurking behind every log.

This book is the fourth book in the “series of unfortunate events” which is one of the greatest series ever written.

This book is very short just as the previous 3 books in this series. And I’ve done the same thing which I’ve did with the previous book which of course is reading the entire book in one sitting. 

This book is a page turner just as the previous 3 books in this series. And so far I come to love this series more and more with each read book in this series.

The more books you reading in this series, the sadder you feel for Violet, Klaus and Sunny. Because Count Olaf is making more and more schemes and Violet, Klaus and Sunny can’t even catch a break.

The plot here gets a really sad, because Violet, Klaus And Sunny are forced to work in a lumber mill and Klaus gets hypnotised. At the same time it’s very interesting to read it and very enjoyable.

The plot in this book is highly depressing and terribly entertaining. Which is a unique mix between these two.

I need to give Count Olaf some credit because his get-rich schemes are getting better and better which each book. 

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.

However Mr. Poe is still the blind idiot he was in the first book. At this point being in the fourth book, he really should get the hint of listening to Violet, Klaus and Sunny when they say that a person is Count Olaf is disguise. However it’s very satisfying to see him shown by Violet, Klaus and Sunny that they were right all along.

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.
