    I rate this title on for age 17 and give it 1.0
    My concerns are:
    • Drinking, smoking, or drug use

    No kid should read it!

    It's very depressed and kids should be kept away from it. I has lots of drugs and smoking!

    • My highlights are:
    • Educational
    • Positive messages
    • Good role models

    I personally loved this book and the entire series. It is very educational in all the situations the author explains, and the three smart and resourceful children included in this book will set positive examples for your children because of their noble and kind nature. Although it might be a little hard for children under 10 years old to understand, there certainly isn't any heavy objectionable content in "The Slippery Slope". Read it with your kids or read it by yourself, you won't regret it.

    Another Good Book by Lemony Snicket

    I liked this book because the adventures of the Baudelaires continue with Count Olaf capturing Sunny. I like how Violet uses her skills to climb up the water fall. They find Quigley Quagmire and lose him again in the river. And they have to get to the last safe place by Thursday.

    Brilliant!

    We last left Violet and Klaus tumbling down to their doom and Sunny in Count Olaf's clutches. No one can read the previous book and not want to read this one. Violet and Klaus set off to rescue their sister and find the V.F.D. headquarters in the Mortmain Mountains. The story starts to get more adventurous instead of the children just going from guardian to guarian.

    This is a well written story that everyone will love!

    This is a fantastic book in which Violet, Klaus and Sunny are still struggling to stay together, and escape from Count Olaf's clutches...again. Same plot, but many new characters and interesting turns. Great book for kids 8+.

    This was a great book! It made me want to keep reading and reading!

    The book was really good and it started at a really exciting place. I especially liked when Violet and Klaus met the survivor of the fire (I won't say who it was) and also when they saved Sunny. I thought the Snow Scout's Song was very funny. I also though Carmelita Spats was funny. I think this is a great book and if you have read the other nine, I suggest you read this one too!
