It's amazing how he stories of three highly talented orphans can make fr such interesting, captivating and not to mention educating reading! If you want a happy story, where they love 'Happily ever after', this isn't the book for you.The series continues with such unfortunate events! Such a brilliantly written book by Lemony Snickett. If your looking for a great, easy read, then this is the book for you

2018, I didn’t realise how graphic the book was, about Montgomery’s death and how Olaf wanted to kill the orphans. Just wow. Supposed to be a kids book as well.

After the ever plotting and ever scheming not to mention meddlesome Count Olaf manages to ruin yet another chance at happiness for Violet, Klaus and Sunny they are sent to live with who could only be described as their most strange gaurdian to date - Aunt Josephine, who for me almost ruined the entire book with her strange ways which seemed to iritate both the children and myself leaving me wanting to send this book soaring across the room.
She was the only downfall of the amazing book. Snicket provides readers with yet another exciting and informative Unfortunate Event in the lives of the Baudelaire orphans.

2018 ——
I never realised how gruesome these books are - first with monty and his corpse description not the killing of aunt Josephine! With all the references to adult things I’m thoroughly enjoying the books so far! Want to read all of them this hear

I’ve enjoyed This a lot more than previous book, it was never slow like Scorch and had a lot of gore in it.
I love how descriptive his writing is, though it’s not for me I can still appreciate it.

Lemony Snicket is fun, it's terribly depressing and highly entertaining. All the books make me feel like I'm 12 again, laughing at each joke the terribly depressing situations they are in - because they are so terrible it's unreal.

I didn’t realise how gory this series is, from Orwell’s death to Charles nearly being sawed in half 😂😂

A series of unfortunate events was the first book series I read, so this author and series holds a great significance to me. All of the books were great in this series, however they did get monotenous after about 11/13 books. But, this book was number 5 in the series and added humour into the newly begun plot. Mr. Snicket added in bits of quirky humour to children which they could relate to: a dodgy teacher. I'm sure everyone has had somewhere along the line a bad teacher, and this book takes it to the extreme. He also represents their anxiety for school brilliantly by Violet and Klaus' reaction to heading to school once again after another unfortunate event.
Overall this is a brilliant book in the series, and if you already haven't make sure to read this series from Book 1: The Bad Beginning

I like how Snicket portrays Olaf as evil and clever and witty unlike the film adaptations. The Netflix series comes closer to how Olaf is presented which is nice, as it shows how cunning he actually is. The adults are useless though, Poe is lovely but useless.

Rick is savage wow
Laurie is still kinda annoying but not as annoying as the tv show

I really enjoyed how Riordan incorporates Greek myths, such as the labyrinth, and Icarus into the story. I’m able to learn a bit about the myths I’ve heard so much about while immersing myself into Percy Jackson’s world.
The first quarter of the book was a bit slow for me but it picked up towards the end, and didn’t rapidly conclude like a lot of books

SPOILERS AHEAD

This book was brilliant despite my doubts to begin with. I was skeptical going into this book due to the tiny font and it being around 370 pages long however i noticed how the pages just melted away. The narrator of Wade was humorous and brilliant and I quickly developed a crush on him. It was all brilliantly thought out from Wade’s escape from IOI to him detonating the bomb to destroy the orb (I was giggling throughout that chapter just at the thought of it).

Differences from the film - H was gay in the book! Which explains why she’s living on the run and I love the fact that she is a gay black woman, Cline I am in awe well done for making her so badass.

Artemis wasn’t part of some rebellion but just a 20 year old student trying to win the egg.

Daito and Shoto weren’t brothers and one of them wasn’t 11 years old, however daito dies which shows the lengths of IOI and the pure brutality of the time.

The eggs were all different, and you had to solve 6 riddles to get to the egg (riddle to find the keys then to find the gates) which was really clever.

I enjoyed how it immersed the plot in the game all the while adding spotlight to wade and other characters, I love how it was purely the hunt though. I’m going to miss this world so much, might have to watch the film again
