Book Description:
Dear Reader,

The word "carnivorous," which appears in the title of this book, means "meat-eating," and once you have read such a bloodthirsty word, there is no reason to read any further. This carnivorous volume contains such a distressing story that consuming any of its contents would be far more stomach-turning than even the most imbalanced meal.

To avoid causing discomfort, it would be best if I didn't mention any of the unnerving ingredients of this story, particularly a confusing map, an ambidextrous person, an unruly crowd, a wooden plank, and Chabo the Wolf Baby.

Sadly for me, my time is filled with researching and recording the displeasing and disenchanting lives of the Baudelaire orphans. But your time might be better filled with something more palatable, such as eating your vegetables, or feeding them to someone else.

With all due respect,
Lemony Snicket

In keeping with the tradition of the Series of Unfortunate Events, the author keeps you thoroughly entertained. Well written, and a lot of fun.

I loved all of the books in this series. Much much better than the movies.

This is the 9th book in a series of very unfortunate events for three orphaned children. An enjoyable story. Reviewed by my son who actually read this series.

In this ninth book of 'A Series of Unfortunate Events,' Count Olaf's very own disguises help the poor Baudelaire children evade capture, but not for long! Will they ever escape Count Olaf's evil plan? I really like these books! They're very original, a bit redundant, but good nonetheless. I highly recommend them!
