Book Review: The Carnivorous Carnival


Review:  #428
Title:  The Carnivorous Carnival
Series:  A Series of Unfortunate Events - 9th book
Author:  Lemony Snicket
Read Before:  yes
My Comments:  Not as repetitive as the previous books, the story was interesting.  It still does way too much teasing of revelations when it does not deliver.  This is getting tiresome, even though it is a trademark of this series.  Not sure why the population of this world is so stupid (M           adame Lulu, the freaks and the carnival patrons), it’s frustrating.  The ending was good, being a cliffhanger and it shows how evil Olaf is.  Other than that, the plot and writing doesn’t stand out too much.  Nothing important happens and you can safely skip this book and not miss much.
Rating:  6/10
