In fact, this might be just the break Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire could use after their wearying deep-sea adventure. A hotel can be a good choice for any family vacation. With so many floors, such a variety of rooms, and a curious array of guests, spending time in the safety of the right hotel can be the perfect learning environment for children of any age. A keen researcher like Klaus, an adept inventor like Violet, and a sharp-toothed culinary master like Sunny are all sure to find engaging diversions during their stay. Regardless of how they pass their time while at a hotel, the three siblings will be sure to take in all the interesting sights and sounds—and write them down—just in case this episode turns out to be the darkest yet in a series of unfortunate events. Amazon.com Review: 10 Second Interview: A Few Words with Daniel Handler  Q: Your Wikipedia (online encyclopedia) entry defines you as author, screenwriter, and accordionist. Is that how you would describe yourself?A: I find that nothing makes people back away faster at a social gathering than "accordionist." Except perhaps "screenwriter." And, even "author" always makes people nervous, so I usually say "writer." Q: How long have you been writing? A: All my life really, since I was able to write all I wanted to do was write. I think largely I ended up becoming a writer because I could think of nothing else that I was good at--at all. As a kid, I always wanted to be a writer, and I had no backup plan whatsoever as an adult. Q: Are the Baudelaire children ever going to be happy? A: Well, they are happy on a regular basis, just not for very long. Um, are they ever going to be happy permanently? I don't know any permanently happy people, thank goodness. Q: Okay, then is the series going to end on a happy note? A: Well, I always remind readers of the Snicket books that happy is a comparative term, so the end will be happier than some people would think, but less happy than others. Q: When can fans expect the final book? A: I believe the thirteenth volume will be released in the fall of 2006, although something terrible could happen to the author at any moment and then the books would not be released at all.

Amazon.com Exclusive: The Horrendous Heap  Experience Snicket in the worst way possible: from the very beginning. Here are twelve books contained in four boxes in one terrible shipment. The Horrendous Heap also contains four unfortunate gifts, more upsetting than an itchy sweater in an unflattering color, including:*A full-color print of one of Brett Helquist's most worrying illustrations, suitable for framing or burying in the backyard. *A door-hanger, designed to keep unfortunate events out of any room with a door. *A full page of black-and-white stickers, fit for sticking wherever unfortunate events arise. *An iron-on, which can render any piece of clothing a part of the uniform of a secret organization. Please be warned. This offering is a great deal of misfortune. Lemony Snicket advises against the reading, framing, hanging, sticking, or wearing of unfortunate events. In fact, you might be better off ordering a less horrendous heap, if you prefer that sort of thing. Make Your Own Misfortune Teller  Fans of the Lemony Snicket books can download and fold their own Misfortune Teller, by following these simple instructions. Once the Misfortune Teller is complete, all that is necesary is a willing victim, er, subject, and let the games begin! An Interview with Lemony Snicket  Lemony Snicket has captured the hearts of childen and adults alike with the hilariously gloomy series that began, of course, with The Bad Beginning. Amazon.com had a chance to question the author of this marvelously morbid and delightfully depressing series, and the communication was grim indeed. Read the cumbersome communique and see for yourself.Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Amazing BookThis book by Lemony Snicket is one of the best books that he has written in this series, in my opinion. It has a good plot to it, it's not confusing or boring, and it's not very hard to read either. The plot is that three children are running from Count Olaf and end up getting a job at this hotel only to find out that he is staying at this hotel with a bunch of his friends. The kids have to get a disguise and work there without being caught. I give this book five stars ... Read More Rating: - The suspects are assembled . . . The suspects are here assembled, as the participants, precipitators, witnesses, and victims of the unfortunate events described in the past 11 books gather . . . . But justice is miscarried in the penultimate event, and the Baudelaire children ponder their guilt or innocence, nobility or villainy. Followed by: The End (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 13) Rating: - Twists are coming togetherAh, now nice! Our favorite little orphans-of-tragedy get to hang out with some rich relatives in a snobby apartment building! Snicket introduces a nice new landscape, more mystery, and some developments that are very nice shockers. Not the best of the series, but nice-enough pacing and a [not-so]-pleasant story to keep up the action and plot. Rating:  - Complete fluffTons of filler in this book. Snicket brings back most of the characters for a courtroom showdown which means he takes every opportunity to use the following format: "It's a bird!" "It's a plane!" "It's a hook!" "It's a book!" "It's a rail!" "It's a tail!" and on and on. And also to spend whole paragraphs hashing over what everyone is doing, e.g.: X was stumbling around and ran into Y who was hanging onto Z and ...
