NOW A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
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 installment 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.

"This whole series is a lot of fun. I first picked them up during a particularly difficult finals week my sophomore year at the U, it was a nice child-like distraction when I needed a break from all the grown up studying I was doing! I recommend these books to anyone." — Camron (4 out of 5 stars)
"This whole series is a lot of fun. I first picked them up during a particularly difficult finals week my sophomore year at the U, it was a nice child-like distraction when I needed a break from all the grown up studying I was doing! I recommend these books to anyone."
“Again, it’s a sad state of affairs for the Baudelaires, but there are some fascinating morsels of hope, plus a few small surprises that might help link it all together. With riveting suspense, wicked intentions, and gullible freaks, The Carnivorous Carnival is definitely an installment that can’t be missed.”
“All of this is delivered in Tim Curry’s consistently excellent voice. He breathes evil into Count Olaf and his cohorts and becomes the foreign Madame Lulu. After creating distinct individualized voices for each character, he creates a new and different voice for many of those same characters as disguises go on and come off. Curry is a master of dry, ironic tones that add an additional undercurrent of suspense, keeping the listener off-balance throughout.”
“The humor is as sharp as ever, the suspense will keep readers at the edge of their seats, and the cliff-hanger ending will make them eagerly await the next episode.”
“Children faithful to the series won’t be surprised when the book does NOT end happily; nor will they find it unusual that Snicket continues to entertain with witty asides and a satirical point of view. The overall story moves along nicely toward the conclusion of the planned 13-volume series; at the same time, the author successfully uses this book as a platform to communicate a good deal about individuals who belittle others and what it feels like to be on the end of the horrible barbs.”
" This is too much misery for the Baudelaire orphans and now I can't continue reading the 5 more books but I really wanna know the answers to the mysteries so I'll continue it. "
" I still want to be ambidextrous. "
" Book 9 of the series. Fast paced and fun to read. The target market will love this story line.Ending is tragic though. "
" another one I really really enjoyed "
" I love how clever and witty Lemony Snicket is. I liked him when I initially read his books in fifth grade and love him even more as I'm rereading the series. "
" Fun read. Loved the carnival setting, fortune teller, and ending with a twist. Left you hanging and wanting to start the next book right away. "
" The series started to come together in this novel. For the first time the Baudelaires (and the readers by extension) got answers. Certainly not as many as I would have liked, but at least they learned some things. The entire show was very interesting, and I thought the commentary against prejudice and discrimination was well-done as always. "
" This was very suspenseful and exciting. I would definitly recommend it for someone who likes adventure. "
" The format is becoming tiresome. "
" It was the best one yet! "
" Scary for a young teen book. "
" The 9th book in the series Series of Unfortunate Events. You really start noticing the book size increase around this point... just keep reading!! "
" One of my favorites from this stunning series. I loved the creepiness/morbidness of it, and the marvelous action at the end. "
" I loved this Book. It was not only my favorite in the series but also one of my favorite books EVER!!! I liked it because it was full of suspense, and because it was so intense. I did not like the end though because my favorite character DIED!!! "
" Spoiler! I can't believe that the baudelaires jumped in to the back of count loafs/Esme squalor s caravan and then they found out that they new that they were baudelaires! "
" I liked this one fine. "
" Loved this series as a kid. "
" Count Olaf, hei, memang jahat!! Sunny, bertahanlah!! Violet, Klaus, jangan sampai jatoh ke jurang!! "
" Full of suspense that gets you thinking ! "
" I really disliked this book. In a series that I was hooked on I was starting to really hate Lemony Snicket. "
" The books are starting to get even more interesting, the Baudelairs are getting deeper and deeper into something bigger than originally thought and Olaf is getting more and more evil! "
" JACKPOT! It's a cliffhanger, no literally a cliffhanger! "
" I won't lie this books are getting a little tedious to read, but I really wasn't expecting an ending like that so I hope the next book will be more exciting for me to read "
" In this book of the series, children find out that one of their parrents may be alive after their house was burnt by some mysterious reason. "
" way to go snicket you did it again. "
" Bad things almost always happens to good people, and the good people are usually little children. Also, don't trust carnies. "
