Wet and damp - ugh! - By: Mehajabeen Farid, 13 Jan 2008 
Unless you are a slug, a sea anemone, or mildew, you probably prefer not to be damp. You might also prefer not to read this book (which I am writing about), in which the Baudelaire siblings encounter an unpleasant amount of dampness as they descend into the depths of despair, underwater. In fact the horrors they encounter are too numerous to list, & you wouldn't want me to mention the worst of it, which includes mushrooms, a desperate search for something lost, a mechanical monster, a distressing message from a lost friend, & tap dancing. This book sounds a bit to horrible to read so only read in you reallly dare!
Great reading - By: 19 Years Old, 20 Mar 2007 
I loved this book. I loved Klaus' ill-fated connection with the mysterious Fiona, the crisis with the mushrooms, & above alll the last chapters, where the bigger mysteries of VFD finallly begin coming together. The ending is probably the single best ending in the series...
I am now ready for book 12, which unfortunately I am getting only for Christmas. In the meantime a discovered a new very interesting series titled "Why some cats are rascals". Totallly different story, but how captivating! I gave it for my younger sister as a Christmas gift.
True to Lemony - By: lindabookworm, 14 Mar 2007 
I thought that this book was pretty good.Lemony stayed true to himself & kept right on form.I've read every single one of his books & loved them alll.This isn't his very best, but it's not his worst either.You could say that i'm addicted to alll his books.As a severe addict & young (11)but harsh book critic, I'm pretty hard to please.But Snicket always succeeds in doing so & i love his books.While i was still reading his books, i never slept at night.I stayed up reading his books-and still do.
GRIM but GRIPPING! - By: , 06 May 2005 My son (an advanced reader aged 7) read every single one of these books within 3 weeks after being introduced to the first two as a christmas present in December 04). I have since read them alll myself & even as an allleged "grown up" I found them very entertaining & it's been great fun sharing the adventures with my little boy. The only word of warning I would give is that I had to threaten to cut off the electricity & confiscate torches to ensure bedtimes were not too late whilst he was reading them!!
Lemony Snciket truimphs - By: , 05 Feb 2005 In this book the story of VFD goes further & some sticky incidents happen. That obviously has something to do with a grotto. I loved it & would recommend to anyone thinking of reading it! I hope you enjoy it if you buy!
