In THE SLIPPERY SLOPE, Snicket really outdoes himself. All the familiar characters are here --- the orphans Violet, Klaus and Sunny, Count Olaf, his girlfriend Esme, and his band of nefarious villains --- and the plot jumps right in where THE CARNIVOROUS CARNIVAL left off, with Violet and Klaus hurtling down a mountainside at top speed. Fortunately, the two oldest Baudelaire siblings quickly cooperate to save themselves and then set their sights on rescuing their baby sister, who's been kidnapped by Count Olaf. Along the way, they reencounter some familiar names from their past --- including one they thought was dead --- and uncover some important clues about the identity of the mysterious VFD organization. THE SLIPPERY SLOPE has all of the tongue-in-cheek wit that makes the series enjoyable for kids and adults alike; Sunny's "baby talk" and its humorous definitions are in rare form in this volume. In addition, this tenth installment has finally broken free from the formulaic plots that bogged down several of the earlier books in the series. The end is in sight for this projected thirteen-book series and the plot really seems to be moving toward some kind of conclusion, although it seems unlikely that the series will have a very happy ending. As usual, THE SLIPPERY SLOPE ends with a cliffhanger that will leave readers wondering about the fate of the Baudelaire orphans and clamoring for the next installment in this darkly entertaining series.
Artist Bio: Lemony Snicket is the pseudonym novelist Daniel Handler uses for his series of darkly comic children's books known as A Series of Unfortunate Events.
