A Series Of Unfortunate Events #9: The Carnivorous Carnival

by Lemony Snicket

HARPERCOLLINS PUBLISHERS | October 17, 2002 | Hardcover

Everybody loves a carnival! Who can fail to delight in the colourful people, the unworldly spectacle, the fabulous freaks?

A carnival is a place for good family fun - as long as one has a family, that is. For the Baudelaire orphans, their time at the carnival turns out to be yet another episode in a now unbearable series of unfortunate events. In fact, in this appalling ninth instalment in Lemony Snicket′s serial, the siblings must confront a terrible lie, a caravan, and Chabo the wolf baby. With millions of readers worldwide, and the Baudelaire′s fate turning from unpleasant to unseemly, it is clear that Lemony Snicket has taken nearly all the fun out of children′s books.

    The ninth book in this popular series may have provided the most fodder for Tim Curry's evil characterizations and eerie sounds. The Baudelaire orphans end up at the Caligari Carnival, disguised as freaks. In their never-ending quest to outsmart the horrible Dr. Olaf, the children meet some strange characters, escape from an angry mob and from ravenous lions. The action is non-stop, except for the witty asides, and the audio version is clearly up to the level of suspense required by this installment.

    Once you get into this book you can't put it down. Compared to the other books in this series I think this one is one of the best by far. Out of 10 I rate it a 9.5

About the Author

Lemony Snicket is often despondent, mostly about his published research, which includes A Series of Unfortunate Events and The Composer Is Dead.

About the Illustrator

Brett Helquist was born in Ganado, AZ, grew up in Orem, UT, and now lives in New York City, where among other noble pursuits, he translates Mr. Snicket's obscure findings into the images that help readers understand the horror of the Baudelaire's plight.
