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.

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!

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.

Terrible Tenth
The usual good role models from the Baudelaires, but Count Olaf and Esme might make you see past that. Esme believes a Verdent Flammable Device is a green cigarette, (but she mentions that they are very very bad for you).

4th grade should start you up
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.

awesome
Great series, good role models, only the "evil" people drink/smoke/or use/threaten violence. Encourages kids to read and think for themselves, also to get educational hobbies (like mechanics and research/writing).

one of the best chronicles yet
A great pre-tween book that rolls along very easily and will make reluctant readers keep reading until the end. This book marks my biggest amount of pages ever read (337), but it's all worth it in the end.
