Series of Unfortunate Events #11: The Grim Grotto Audiobook

" I got through this one really quickly. One of my friends told me the later books introduced some moral ambiguity (or perhaps morel ambiguity hehe?) and I think this is where that kinda starts. I'm actually not sure who is on which side anymore. The earlier books portrayed the conflict as a battle between good and evil, but despite the very real character of the narrator most of the action and knowledge is shown from the children's perspective so it seems as though their misinformation could be the readers as well. I don't know exactly. I do want to know exactly what is going on---the book ended on a hopeful note but that just can't be right... "

" In my opinion the book was well written and a little diffrent from the rest of the series. It had a wonderful twist that left u saddened and hallow as this series should. It is not a happy book but, it tell u this many times through out it. i would recommend this book to anyone who likes sad books and anyone who needs a little eye opener on how good their life really is. One type of literary element used in the book is symbolism the eye tatto on count olaf 's left ankle has been nothing but a symbol of fear and pain for the children. Another element could be the many instances of irony. One main instance would be when their friend who i will not name for spoilers sake changes sides. "

" So far very exciting, and so........................smart. That's the only word for it. Smart. "

" Kind of confusing for me about the sugar bowl and stuff. "

" Beginning with The Slippery Slope, these books seem to be more involved than the previous couple in the series. As with The Slippery Slope, more character development, more twists and turns, and I learned a lot about the water cycle. Mr Snicket would likely suggest that I read Melville or Browning or even Edgar Guest rather than finish out the chronicle of the Baudelaire orphans, but I'm going to take my chances and read on. "

" This book was okay but it wasn't as great as the other ones. I loved it when Klaus got a kiss it was sweet since he might never would see her again. "

" By this point of the series the books are getting kind of boring. I mean it was a good read, but it's kind of annoying how the characters act and how the author explains what a word means. "

" Things get interesting... but I found this one a little less fun and a little more contrived. The water cycle bit was excellent. I wonder if young people understand that it is BAD WRITING and that bad writing is hilarious. I hope so. "

" I like Tim Curry's narration of these, and I think this was my favorite so far. "

" This is part of the thrilling Series of Unfortunate Events because it has been almost 4 years since I have read this book I only remember that the captain is a very interesting person... that is all. "

" I was moved to tears near the end, where Sunny is severely ill. I can't stand crying at books, but its so brilliantly written. "

" Amazing, full of suspense! Take lots of time and finish it! Really scary. "

" It's ok. I liked the previous one more. I am totally sucked in to the end. "

" Not my favorite of the series, but certainly good! "

" This book really picked up for me -- the kids are now off the mountain and into a submarine and are away from Olaf for the moment. Much better than the last few! "

" Although not as good as some of the others, still pretty good--and had a happy ending. "

" It was pretty slow going...but I guess it was good enough. "

" One of the funniest books in the series. The conversations are meant to laugh your ass off. And yeah, just a reminder, This book includes, like the rest of the series: wickedness, Things that will make you sit at the edge of your seat, and of course weep till you're dehydraited. "

" I find lemony snickets books very very grim but they are very perculiar and they become so evil that you wish that the something good happens and you want to carry on reading until finally it ends. "

" the baby is really smart in this one "

" I liked this, but I read the next two in rapid succession. See my review of The End. There are spoilers. "

" I hated the ending of this, and the decision Fiona made, but I understood why. But still. "

" I feel like Lemony Snicket's effective writing sparks are decreasing, for which I have realized over the last ten books. Whenever I read a page of the Grim Grotto, I like the others better. Just saying! "

" This is another sad tale about the Baundlare orphans and how they are trying to hide from Coun't o laf who is trying to steal their fortune. This book was interesting because this time, they were in a submarine, and a lot of wierd things happen. It was good but was boring at some parts. "
