i love the series anyway, but this is one of my favorites. i also have it on CD, read by Tim Curry, who does an EXCELLENT job! a very good book all in all. esme smokes, but it is looked down upon. sunny is treated badly, but obviously that is not approved of.

how is it depressing???????

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.

As the tenth in the series, it's good, and will get better. I rated it iffy for age 9 because of the way Olaf and his henchmen treated Sunny. Also because of the loss of the Quagmire's again.

this story explains what is happening .this auther is a really good auther and if eneyone wants to read the book please read the 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,and 9. i think this book is for ages7+ no violence,it's alote of humer,no bad words like f***,s** or eney kinds of words thank you and i rate this book 5/5.i can't tell you everything go read it yourself. thank you

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.

Bad for optimistic people. Lemony Snicket always lets you down

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.
