A Series Of Unfortunate Events #8: The Hostile Hospital

by Lemony Snicket

HARPERCOLLINS PUBLISHERS | August 23, 2001 | Hardcover

The Baudelaires need a safe place to stay - somewhere far away from terrible villains and local police. A quiet refuge where misfortune never visits. Might Heimlich Hospital be just the place? In Lemony Snicket′s eighth ghastly instalment in A Series of Unfortunate Events, I′m sorry to say that the Baudelaire Orphans will spend time in a hospital where they risk encountering a misleading newspaper headline, unnecessary surgery, an intercom system, anesthesia, heart-shaped balloons, and some very startling news about a fire.

    Blech!

    Lemony Snicket has messed up AGAIN! All the books follow the same plot. I actually think Lemony Snicket has a template made on her computer and she types in a couple words and ANOTHER boring book. These books are completely filler.

    This book wasn't as good as the other novels of this series but I am still a big fan of Lemony Snicket!I thought that this book was quite dull as the other ones kept you on your toes. It was still very interesting but I liked it when they actually would go to a family other than by themselves because I thought that when they were staying with new people it added amusement to the story because every time their guardians had to be the weirdest people you could ever meet and this time they just stayed in a hospital running away from Count Olaf! I am planning on reading number 9 in this series and so on and I hope that those novels will be more like the beginning novels and I'm sure as always be satisfied with the novel no matter what cooky things happen!

    A really, really good story but the bad thing was that the people in the hospital would notice Claus in his Doctor's uniform so that would not be a very accurate part of the story.

    This book is a masterpiece in itself. It's an excellent book just like the last seven. Lemony Snicket is a great author and all his books should be read by everyone. The story is believable and unbelievable at the same time. I can't wait until the canivorious canival and the next five after that!!

    This book was utterly amazing. Now all I need to know is what Lemony Snicket's real name is. I wish he would hurry up with the carnivorous carnaval.

    I bought this book when I went for a trip to ottawa. I'm not much of a reader, but this book was fun to read, and even scary at times. I enjoyed all the characters. This is the only book I read in the Series of Unfortunate Events, so i'll have to back track and start at A Bad Beginning.

    Snicket did it again

    Snickets done it again. This one of a kind author has wrote another superior book about the misfortunes of the lives of the Bauldaire orphans.
    They encounter the Libaray of Records, an intercom, a rusty knife and Count Olafs trunk. They along the way meet the V.F.D's and in hopes of figuring things outs they find out a startling truth... Could a Bauldaire parent be alive?

    Although the author indicates that this book is horrible it is one of the best books I have ever read.

    Like all the other Lemony Snicket books, the Baudelaires have a pleasing way to come up with interesting ways to escape from Count Olaf and his assistants. I would reccomend it to everyone!
