This is the second post for my October/November book report. Once again, the title of the book I read is, "The Series Of Unfortunate Events; Book 7 The Carnivorous Carnival". This book is about three siblings, orphans to be exact, that lost their parents in a very deadly fire. The fire burnt down their whole home, and everything in it.
I would recommend this book to just about everyone. It’s one of my favorite books and I think that anybody who read it would like it. Some adults may not enjoy this book as much as I do though. "The Series Of Unfortunate Events; Book 7 The Carnivorous Carnival” is written in a way that more kids than adults would be able to relate to. The book explains how the kids feel without their parents, and how lonely they have all felt without their parents. Some adults may not be able to relate to these feelings so much because it has been a while since they’ve had to depend on their parents and they could have forgotten how much they really need their parents.
I also think that kids would be able to relate to this book very well because they rely on their parents so much. They could be able to partially imagine what it would feel like to lose their parents and they may help them like or understand the book better.
Also, I don’t think children that are too young should read this book because it may be too violent for them. They could get night mares because in this book there is a man with hooks for hands and I lady gets eaten by lions.
All that aside, I think that this book is a great book for almost everyone to read.

October/November Book Report!
The book I read for my October/November book report is "The Series Of Events; Book 9 The Carnivorous Carnival". This is one of my favorite series of books. I can really relate to all the characters, and when I'm reading the books I feel as if I am there in the story with them.
If I had to rate this book on a scale of one to ten, I think I would rate it somewhere between an eight and a ten. This book is very good. The author, Lemony Snicket, uses very many adjectives, and explains everything in great detail. These are a few of the reasons why I would rate the book so high. A few of the rating points would be taken away, though, because I felt that the book could have ended better. Throughout the whole book, there are a lot of questions that either the Baudelaire’s or the reader asks themselves. Now, I think it’s very good for a book to end its chapter with a big question, or to end a book that’s a part of a series with a question, but I think this book just may have a few too many questions. It’s actually quite annoying. The author leaves you with too much to think about and so many questions to ponder, that you almost just want to give up reading the book because you don’t ever know if you’ll get those questions answered. All that aside, I like this book very much, and if you’re thinking of reading it but you’re a little skeptical about all the mysteries, don’t worry about it. I’ve read two more books of this series after this one and the author answers very many of your questions.
Thanks for reading and have a great day!
