The Carnivorous Carnival, by Lemony Snicket


The Carnivorous Carnival is the ninth book in A Series of
Unfortunate Events. Orphans Violet, Klaus, and Sunny are now in
yet another dire situation where they have to disguise themselves
to try to escape from Count Olaf... but in my opinion, as this is the
ninth book, everything in the book had been done before and it
was just a repeat of Lemony Snicket's other books in a different
setting. The people at the carnival were unnaturally mean, and
Lemony Snicket's writing style is depressing and repetitive. Unless
you REALLY LIKE the first eight books, this one isn't a great one to
read.
3 stars,

  1. I am one of those people who liked the first 8 books, and the next 5 too. I thought that his writing style was creative and hadnt been done before.
    If you want something that has been done even less (if thats possible) read Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer. Those books are amazing.
    And the writing is just as GOOD as Lemony Snicket. note the GOOD. But Eoin Colfer is even better and has a different theme (sorry Lemony)
