series: a series of unfortunate events (#10)
personal star rating: 5/5 stars

from the back cover:
Dear Reader,
Like handshakes, house pets, or raw carrots, many things are preferable when not slippery. Unfortunately, in this miserable volume, I am afraid that Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire run into more than their fair share of slipperiness during their harrowing journey up - and down - a range of strange and distressing mountains.
In order to spare you any further repulsion, it would be best not to mention any of the unpleasant details of this story, particularly a secret message, a toboggan, a deceitful trap, a swarm of snow gnats, a scheming villain, a troupe of organized youngsters, a casserole dish, and a surprising survivor of a terrible fire.
Unfortunately, I have dedicated my life to researching and recording the sad tale of the Baudelaire Orphans. There is no reason for you to dedicate yourself to such things, and you might instead dedicate yourself to letting this slippery book slip from your hands into a nearby trash receptacle, or deep pit.
With all due respect,
Lemony Snicket

review:
This book brought a new face, a friendly face. The Baudelaire's make it to V.F.D. headquarters. Or what remains at least. The story continues and I want to see how it ends desperately. One specific thing that I really like about this series is that even though it's geared towards a younger audience, it continues to build and grow in terms of characters and the events and even the book length. I really like this series okay.
