Lemony snicket is an amazing author..all of his books were amazing and quite funny...the funniest was the 3rd with aunt josephine and her being afraid of almost everything!..however of all the books i've read..the slippery slope is no doubt my favourite...beggining , middle, and the end were so full of suspense and so action packed i could'nt drop the book..for anyone who hasn't read this book..i suggest u buy it and READ IT...its great for actualy any age and i hope there are more of these books to come...hopefully the books will get longer so that i don't finish them in a few days like the rest..books that are this great should be at least 500 pages so we can enjoy them longer.
