      Cher lecteur, Tu viens sans doute de prendre ici le premier livre qui t'est tombé sous la main, mais le lire, à mon humble avis, serait la dernière des doses à faire. C'est l'avant-dernier volume d'une série dernièrement classée en dernier sur la liste des premières ventes, et je serais le dernier des derniers si je ne te mettais en garde avec la dernière énergie. Un hôtel à perdre le nord, une horloge en désaccord, des reflets douteux, des personnages douteux, de la cuisine douteuse, des initiales douteuses et des gérants douteux : ce livre à semer le doute est bien le dernier, si j'étais toi, que j'aurais envie de lire. Les avant-dernières choses - autrement dit, les pénultièmes - sont presque toujours pires que les antepénultièmes - autrement dit, avant-avant-dernières. Cet avant-dernier tome, le dernier paru à ce jour, est bien le pire de tous, et la première des choses à faire est de le remettre où tu l'as pris. Avec mes sentiments respectueux, Lemony Snicket.

    • Cher lecteur, Si tu recherches un récit de collège avec des potaches qui s'en paient une tranche dans un joyeux pensionnat, il vaudrait mieux chercher ailleurs. Certes, Violette, Klaus et Prunille Baudelaire sont des enfants intelligents et pleins de ressources, qui devraient se plaire au collège. Mais ce collège-ci est assez spécial, et la vérité est que les orphelins s'apprêtent à y vivre un bien sinistre épisode. À titre d'exemple, dans ces treize chapitres, les trois enfants vont devoir faire face à une tribu de crabes malveillants, à un règlement stupide, à des châtiments sévères, à des moisissures coulantes, à de longs récitals de violon, à de redoutables tests de contrôle et au système métrique. Il est de mon devoir de passer des nuits blanches à relater l'histoire de ces trois jeunes infortunés, mais rien ne t'oblige, cher lecteur, à perdre le sommeil sur un récit triste à pleurer. Aussi ferais-tu sans doute mieux de te choisir une autre lecture. Avec mes sentiments respectueux, Lemony Snicket

      The Barnes & Noble Review For fans of that slippery author Lemony Snicket, Book the Ninth is here, and it's completely (but wonderfully) dreadful. When the Baudelaire Orphans finally make it out of Count Olaf's car trunk (from Book the Eighth), they wind up at the horribly perilous Caligari Carnival. Trying to avoid capture but desperate to find out more information about a possible surviving parent, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny pose as circus freaks, only to be humiliated in front of visitors and pushed to the brink of consumption by lions. Fortunately, though, the three discover a few surprises about fortune-telling Madame Lulu, who offers a faint clue about V.F.D. and even the Snicket family itself. Snicket fans will be in Ninth Heaven. Again, it's a sad state of affairs for the Baudelaires, but there are some fascinating morsels of hope, plus a few small surprises that might help link it all together. With riveting suspense, wicked intentions, and gullible freaks, The Carnivorous Carnival is definitely an installment that can't be missed. Matt Warner

    • Cher lecteur, Je te conseillerais bien de jeter ce livre. Mais, auparavant, tu aimerais peut-être savoir pourquoi. La raison en est qu'il relate le pire épisode à ce jour de la vie des orphelins Baudelaire - leur bref passage dans une clinique véreuse -, ce qui en fait l'ouvrage le plus sinistre jamais publié depuis l'invention de l'imprimerie. C'est bien simple, dans ce volume, tout est détestable d'un bout à l'autre. Pareille lecture n'a rien d'une partie de plaisir. Moi qui ai fait le serment de narrer ce récit sans omettre un seul détail sordide, je suis bien placé pour savoir qu'il ne mérite que la corbeille à papiers, où tu l'as sans doute pêché. Avec mes sentiments respectueux. [payot.ch]

    • Cher Lecteur, Je regrette fort de devoir le dire, mais le livre que voici ne contient rien de plaisant. Il raconte la triste histoire de trois enfants qui ont toutes les déveines et collectionnent les calamités. Dans ce seul volume, ils vont affronter un sinistre personnage, de hideux habits qui grattent, un épouvantable incendie, un complot pour dérober leur héritage et de la bouillie froide au petit déjeuner. Pour ma part, je me suis fait un devoir de relater ces funestes épisodes, mais rien ne t'interdit, cher lecteur, de remettre ce livre où tu l'as pris et d'en choisir un plus joyeux. Avec mes sentiments respectueux, Lemony Snicket

    • La vie des enfants Baudelaire commence tragiquement lorsque leurs parents disparaissent dans un incendie, les laissant avec une immense fortune. Ils sont confiés à leur oncle, le Comte Olaf, qui n'hésite pas à user de ruses pour s'emparer de leur héritage. Les trois enfants doivent faire preuve de malice pour déjouer les plans de cet étrange aristocrate. Dans ce premier tome des désastreuses aventures, l'action et la réflexion prennent le pas sur la mélancolie de leur situation. Violette, l'aînée de quatorze ans, est passionnée par les sciences et invente sans cesse. Klaus, douze ans, est un lecteur vorace, tandis que la petite Prunille, "pas plus haute qu'une botte", utilise ses dents pour explorer le monde. Leur perspective enfantine est essentielle pour comprendre la vie. Les Orphelins Baudelaire, qui ont déjà surpassé Harry Potter dans les ventes américaines, offrent des aventures sans fantastique ni sorcellerie, mais riches en enseignements sur la vie. Le style de Lemony Snicket, subtil et humoristique, évoque celui de Roald Dahl. Ces histoires, bien que sombres, sont captivantes et promettent de devenir des classiques de la littérature jeunesse. À partir de 11 ans.

      NOW A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES A Warning from the Publisher: If you have come this far, it is likely too late. Readers who have experienced the first nine volumes in A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket are usually so weakened by their dreadful knowledge of the Baudelaire orphans' story that they spend most of their time moaning and weeping, and have no strength to read The Slippery Slope , The Grim Grotto , or The Penultimate Peril . If, by chance, your moaning and weeping is more or less under control, there is no need to further risk your physical, emotional, and literary health by reading volumes 10 through 12. It would be better to regain your strength by spending your time indulging in less alarming activities, such as whistling or making cupcakes for the elderly. There is no need to expose yourself to more atrocities, not after all you've been through already.

      NOW A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES A Warning from the Would you rather sprain your ankle, bruise your hip, and lose a toe to frostbite on the same day? Or would you rather have these accidents happen on three different days? This collection of volumes seven through nine in A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket is the equivalent of having three ghastly accidents right in a row. Contained here are such unpleasantries as kidnapping, disguise, murder, paperwork, another disguise, heart-shaped balloons, false allegations, stiletto heels, a shattered crystal ball, a cryptic map, an irritating song, and quite a few more disguises, all bundled together into a continuous barrage of horror and dismay. The more sensible approach would be to read The Vile Village , The Hostile Hospital , and The Carnivorous Carnival months or even years apart from one another, so you have time to recuperate from the misery each volume offers—or better yet, to turn your eyes away from Mr. Snicket's work and find a literary experience that would cause you no distress whatsoever.

      There's dreadful news from the symphony hall—the composer is dead! If you have ever heard an orchestra play, then you know that musicians are most certainly guilty of something. Where exactly were the violins on the night in question? Did anyone see the harp? Is the trumpet protesting a bit too boisterously? In this perplexing murder mystery, everyone seems to have a motive, everyone has an alibi, and nearly everyone is a musical instrument. But the composer is still dead. Perhaps you can solve the crime yourself. Join the Inspector as he interrogates all the unusual suspects. Then listen to the accompanying audio recording featuring Lemony Snicket and the music of Nathaniel Stookey performed by the San Francisco Symphony. Hear for yourself exactly what took place on that fateful, well-orchestrated evening.

      Dear Reader,Like handshakes, house pets, or raw carrots, many things are preferable when not slippery. Unfortunately, in this miserable volume, I am afraid that Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire run into more than their fair share of slipperiness during their harrowing journey up -- and down -- a range of strange and distressing mountains. In order to spare you any further repulsion, it would be best not to mention any of the unpleasant details of this story, particularly a secret message, a toboggan, a deceitful trap, a swarm of snow gnats, a scheming villain, a troupe of organized youngsters, a covered casserole dish, and a surprising survivor of a terrible fire. Unfortunately, I have dedicated my life to researching and recording the sad tale of the Baudelaire Orphans. There is no reason for you to dedicate yourself to such things, and you might instead dedicate yourself to letting this slippery book slip from your hands into a nearby trash receptacle, or deep pit. With all due respect,Lemony Snicket
