Ever since the orphans' photographs were plastered across the front page of The Daily Punctilio in an article falsely accusing them of murder, they have been on the run. Only when they disguise themselves as cheerful hospital volunteers (Volunteers Fighting Disease, to be exact), do they see a possible refuge. Of course, this backfires hideously. Where is their ineffectual guardian, Mr. Poe, when they need him most? Will the evil, greedy Count Olaf be successful in giving poor Violet a cranioectomy at the Heimlich Hospital? Is a heart-shaped balloon really better than water for a thirsty patient? Is no news really good news? As ever, Snicket refuses to comfort young readers with cozy answers and satisfying escapes. And, as ever, there are plenty of rusty blades and horrible plot twists to make us shudder and shameless-but-hilarious wordplay to make us grimace happily. Bring on the next one! (Ages 9 and older) --Karin Snelson Product Description: Dear Listener, This audio is the only one which describes every last detail of the Baudelaire children's miserable stay at Heimlich Hospital, which makes it one of the most dreadful audios in the world. There are many pleasant things to listen to, but this audio contains not one of them. Within it are such gruesome details as a suspicious shopkeeper, unnecessary surgery, anesthesia, heart-shaped balloons, and some very startling news about a fire. Clearly you do not want to hear about such things. I also shouldn't mention the interactive features of the CD, which include: A perplexing word game • Photos from The Lemony Snicket Archives • Art from The Brett Helquist gallery I have sworn to research and record this story as best I can, so I should know that this audio is something best left on the ground, where you undoubtedly found it. With all due respect, Lemony Snicket Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Baudelaires on their ownWherein the children are totally on their own, without any "help" from Mr. Poe, and they learn (tantalizingly just a little bit) more about the history of their parents before the fire, and face the most dire personal danger yet. Followed by: The Carnivorous Carnival (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 9) Rating:  - I like it when the man puts in emotionThis story introduces a deepening mystery, as well as a tongue-in-cheek examination of the various "do-gooders" of the world, tear-jerking emotion, and some hilarious macabre moments. Great setting, great story, and some great little unfortunate incidents. Rating: - if you like this series you will like this bookIf you have enjoyed the previous books in this series you will like this one too. Rating: - Sunny,bite open one of those cans of soup.the Baudeliare children are on the run from Count Olaf,the ex-guardian of the children.They have no choice but to go to the Heimlich Hospital when they are being pursued by the police and a mad shop owner.there they find Count Olaf and Klaus and Sunny find themselves at a deadline for their sister's life.They then must set fire to the hospital so they can ecsape.It's is a very strange book,but i recomend it to others and i liked it. STOP(stop HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE BOOK) Rating: - Great Kids Book!My son is really enjoying reading this series of books. He doesn't read much so it says a lot when he continues to read night after night.
