Carnivals are not carnivorous except in this one case - Rated 
The word "carnivorous," which appears in the title of this book, means "meat-eating," and once you have read such a bloodthirsty word, there is no reason to read any further. This carnivorous volume contains such a distressing story that consuming any of its contents would be far more stomach-turning than even the most imbalanced meal. To avoid causing discomfort, it would be best if I didn't mention any of the unnerving ingredients of this story, particularly a confusing map, an ambidextrous person, an unruly crowd, a wooden plank, and Chabo the Wolf Baby. The rating I would give, for this terrible story which began in the boot of the enemy, is 7/ 10.
Letter from Violet, Klaus and Sunny to Lemony Snicket - Rated 
Dear Mr. Snicket,
We have found out about you telling our story, and we wanted to communicate with you. Luckily for us, this reviewer visited the carnival in which we were performing in an unusual capacity (as f-r-e-a-k-s) and agreed to make this message available to you. At first we were enraged, since we realized that you were interjecting funny comments in our story, which seemed to derive from really bad taste. But then we understood, if you did not do that, nobody would want to read about our miserable experiences.
As you already know, we barely escaped from the hospital. "Slash!", that was a comment from Sunny, who intends to say that Olaf and his cronies were trying to chop off Violet's head and they almost succeeded. We sneaked into the trunk Count Olaf's car and ended up in this carnival, trying to figure out the secret of V.F.D. If you have any information, please, please, please, help us out. "Chersssh", that was Sunny again, saying that we found out that one of our beloved parents may be alive. If you have any news, we would appreciate you providing this information to us.
We have found a few compassionate people in the carnival, but the lions arrived a short time ago, and we are getting scared. If you have any way to contact Mr. Poe, tell him to come rescue us. He seems to have missed our telegram. We are looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire
PS from the reviewer: Mr. Snicket, I realize that you have found out about the events that unfolded at the carnival and already wrote a book about it. I applaud your accuracy in telling the tale and I thoroughly enjoyed your use of humor at such a grim time. I hope you can help these children and I hope I get to find out soon about what happened to them. I have a lot of questions and the suspense is killing me. I will now let you get back to your writing, which I hope many people get to read. Best regards.
Pretty good,though not his best - Rated
Yeah,it is OK.But i have read all his books and don't think it's as good as the next book in the series, which is, for me, the best one.But it's pretty good.I really like Lemony's books and think they're fab.This one was a slight bit disappointing, but it wasn't his best.I rank it in his bottom three.But i still absolutely love his other books and he is definetely one of my favourite authors!

very good book
Carnivorous and hungry for more! - Rated
The ninth book in the series is one of the funniest and is extremely interesting throughout, despite a slow build up. The Baudelaire orphans find themselves arriving at caligari carnival in the back of olaf's car this time. They disguise themselves as freaks for the freakshow in this carnival to find out what olafs really up to. It turns out Madame Lulu, a mysterious fortune teller, holds the answers to all the baudelaires question, but as their luck would have it, their are many obstacles along the way, incluing olaf and some hungry lions...
