The Carnivorous Carnival by Lemony Snicket

Their freakish new friends also making some morally questionable decisions. The self-sustaining Baudelaire keeping it together, although suffering spiritually after using several of Olaf’s tactics, like disguising, lying and forcedly taking not always the right choice. The Baudelaire arsonists still at large, trying desperately to find a possible surviving parent, and burning everything in their path.Ī thrilling sequel, especially after the disappointing #8. Also HATED Esme, a loving girlfriend that enjoys receiving gifts and throwing people into lion infested pits. He’s the MOST convincingly disguised villain EVER, and it took me nothing less than nine books to finally realize it, but they are ALL OLAF!. I can’t keep this endless parade of villains any longer. It’s Count Olaf ok? It’s always been Olaf. Totally HATED the evil Lion Tamer, a multi-layered character with complex motivations, unlike the despicable… oh FORGET IT! I give up. WOW! I don’t feel like a gullible moron at all! LOVED Hugo, Kevin and Colette, at least in the beginning, three freakishly innocent souls, but sadly very easily manipulated by their evil captors. A brief respite of apprehension takes place until a evil-natured Lion Tamer arrives at the Carnival and, against all possible odds, calamity strikes again.Īnother clever ruse! VFD doesn’t mean Very Fancy Doilies, or Village of Fowl Devotees, or Volunteers Fighting Disease, the real meaning of VDF is Valley of the Four Drafts. The disguised orphans then start working in the Freak House Wagon, and they befriend hunchback Hugo, ambidextrous Kevin and Colette the contortionist. After leaving Heimlich Hospital and Hal the archivist behind, the self-sustaining Baudelaire travel to Caligari Carnival a remote location where they meet Madame Lulu, a totally legit know-it-all fortune-teller.
