Book #3 in 2013
A Series Of Unfortunate Events: The Slippery Slope
by Lemony Snicket
"Dear Reader,
Like handshakes, house pets, or raw carrots, many things are
preferably 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 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 your-self 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,
"January 15th to 27th - 3 days - 337 pages
Notes:
why is Lemony Snicket so great
*I have read these lots of times but I'm counting it in my total because it's never been published here.
