The Slippery Slope

Same as described

After a lull with the previous few books, Lemony Snicket is back to his finest with this tenth installment! It is exciting to see the Baudelaire girls maturing and experience firsts. Helquist's illustrations do a fine job of showing our three favorite orphans taller and stronger as they face frightening frenemies and fiascoes. I'm one of the many adults who enjoy this Series of Unfortunate Events and, even with a busy schedule, I squeezed in an hour here and there as much as I possibly could -- because I was captivated by the intrigue occurring on the Slippery Slope. I highly recommend the entire Series and especially this hilarious Book the Tenth. Lemony can always make me smile, and there's nobody like him on the contemporary literary scene; nobody pushing the bounds of literary nonsense within contemporary society. Thanks + huzzah!

This book came exactly as shown. It is a great gift for someone who is collecting this series of books. The hard cover is durable and good quality.

I have these books but purchased them on my Kindle as well because I cannot get usd to reading an actual book anymore. You have to hold it open, it doesn't light up,,,Anyway I love these books.

This one has one of the biggest surprises yet. Totally didn't expect it, and I love that. Lemony still has more surprises for you even after all this.

The absolute best part of this book is the evolution of Sunny from a rope-chewing baby into a gourmet cook whose deft one-word insults not only land undetected by villains but also on certain politicians in real life. Check out page 107 for the definition of "busheney"! I would love to make a list of the great words coined by Sunny in this book; it makes all the other characters seem dull.Count Olaf doesn't wear any disguises. Violet's inventions are predictable. Most of the brainpower is supplied by Quigley Quagmire, not Klaus.And I heartily applaud the return of Carmelita from the "Austere Academy". She will have some great scenes in the next installment now that she has joined Esme and Count Olaf. Cakesniffers!!
