 Hotel horror! January 13, 2008

Probably the next-to-last things you would like to read about are a harpoon gun, a rooftop sunbathing salon, two mysterious initials, three unidentified triplets, a notorious villain, and an unsavoury curry and the last thing you would want to do is experience these things. Since you do not want to know how it feels, you can feel sorry for the three children, the Baudelaire orphans, in the book which I am reviewing, who do know how it feels. This book is rather frightening but still is rather fantastic though very upsetting. The rating I would give this book is a disturbing 7/ 10.
 As good as ever March 13, 2007

Good book.I've read every single book that Lemony Snicket has ever written.This one was just as good as all the rest.He's one of my favourite authors.Is it true that his real name is Daniel Handler? My friend told me it is.But i don't know if i should believe her.Please tell me.Thanks!

When I was little my sister read them and I really wanted to read them, but I didn't understand them. So, now I got the chance to read them all - except from the last one. I thought the first and the second one were a bit sad and from the fourth right up to the seventh book it was a bit boring, because Mr Poe kept on rescuing them at the end of the book. I especially liked the Hostile Hospital and the Penultimate Peril. The most thrilling part was in the Hostile Hospital, when Count Olaf wanted to saw off Violet's head!

I thought this book was a return to form - and have never skipped a page in my life! The beauty of these books isn't the story, it's the prose.

I found this book really disappointing as I was really looking forward to it. I've read all the other books in the series and I was bored and constantly skipping ahead. I read it in an hour because of all the pages I was forced to skip. The Ophans did things really out of character which I hated and I was disgusted by the dreadful ending.
