sam (samlo28) 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.

Unfortunately, I have dedicated my life to researching and recording the sad tale of the Baudelaire orphans. There is no reason for you to dedicate your-self to such things, and you might instead dedicate yourself to letting this slippery book slip from your hands into a nearby trash receptacle, or deep pit.

With all due respect,

Lemony Snicket


Join Amanda and I!

sam (samlo28) I just finished and this is my favorite one so far. There's still repetition but you learn quite a bit.

Amanda (readingwithmanda) Well I'm glad you liked this one, I haven't read it yet but plan to start and finish it tomorrow.

Amanda (readingwithmanda) Okay so I might have to wait on this book for a little longer I'm currently reading 5 other books right now. I really need to get down to reading like 1 or 2 before I start anymore books.
