FIONA MUST DIE!!! - Pierre Boubier's wife

I love this book, not as much as Pierra, but I loved it anyway. The reason why I diden't give this book 5 stars is becaus I hated Fiona!!! Fiona must die, she is so anoying, and she messed with Klaus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I HATE FIONA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cause I think Kluas is a super HUNK!!!


Aye love these stories.

Aye think these stoies are wonderful, Aye think this series is terrible. Aye think you should read something more suitable for children. Aye think somebody is hiding in my submarine. Aye think there are some bad egg's in this story. Aye think somebody is suffering from an identity problem. Aye think the writer needs to send a check to his litterary agent. Aye think more will be revealed in the next book. Aye can't wait, Aye am thirsty for knowledge. Please release the next book or Aye am going to throw a fit. (Throw: A word here that means toss as in- Aye am going to throw the book at you.) P.S. What did you think of the Half Blood Prince? Wait that is another story that children should not read. Aye am crazy. Aye am insane. Aye think you should read the Pony Party, Aye, it is a story with a happy ending, Those kids look so happy! (note to readers: if you have not read Lemony Snickets un-authorized auto-biography you should run to your bookstore immediately. Make sure to get the hard- cover edition, It has a dust jacket that is reversible).

I LOVE FIONA!!!!!!!

I Looooved the Grim Grotto!!!! I'm not gonna waste time and explain the plot (cuz you probably already know it). Let me just tell you why it was my favourite...FIONA!!!!!! Yaaaay! FIONA IS AWESOME!! I loved Fiona! I loved the romance!! She DID NOT MESS WITH KLAUS!!! I think Klaus likes her!!!! Yay Fiona!! How sweet, Snicket (Handler) is introducing romance into the series!! It's sooo obvious--Violet/Quigley, Fiona/Klaus!! But I doubt Sunny is, uh, ready for romance. Ohhhhhhhhh I just LOVED the romance!! It was the best part!! Of course there were other parts that rocked, too. I'm just sort of obsessing about Klaus & Fiona. They totally go together!!! Why else would Lemony have them kiss, I ask you?

FIONA & KLAUS FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Grim Grotto

Moving passively on a broken toboggan across the ashy waters of the Stricken Stream, the Baudelaires stumble across a submarine called the Queeqeq, with it's captain, Captain Widdershins. Captain Widdershins may be volatile and unstable, but he is an interesting character in many ways. One is his exhausting speech, which ends with an exclamation mark every sentence and numerous 'Ayes'. He provides the series with humor! The Baudelaires also meet Fiona, Captain Widdershin's stepdaughter! I was also happy to see the optimistic and pleasant Phil from Lucky Smells Lumbermill! Captain Widdershins introduces his philosiphy 'He or she who hesitates is lost'!

The Baudelaires get dressed in their suits of Herman Mellville. Widdershins and his crews' mission is to find the sugar bowl, something that's purpose is unknown to the Baudelaires. To find this mysterious object, Violet, Klaus, Sunny and Fiona go through the gorgonian grotto to find this mysterious item before Olaf and Esme(his girlfriend) does. The corageous four are trapped by Medusoid Mycelium, a deadly fungus or something. After they escape the Medusoid Mycelium without the sugar bowl, they are surprised Sunny has it in her helmet. They return to the Queeqeq, but Widdershins and Phil are gone. Stunned, the four are alone when the Carmelita, a gigantic octopus Olaf and his troupe are in, take the four hostage and put them in the brig.

We find out who Fiona's brother is, get annoyed by Olaf's annoying laugh, where the scouts are and what they are doing. We also see Carmelita's new, annoying dance. Also, the Baudelaires figure out the cure for Mycelium Medusoid.

Through this tale from Stricken Stream to Briny Beach where the the series of unfortunate events started, there will be a traitor, a cure, an annoying laugh, few surprises, more about V.F.D, a telegram, two poems from two widely known poets, uncomfortable clothing, dark, uncharted waters, slaves, a mean, nasty girl who thinks she's adorable and pretty and gum.
Sunny is the character in this eleventh book, because she's a good cook and remarkably smart. She is also beginning to say proper words and learning to speak remarkably quickly.

Lemony Snicket again prevails in this eleventh book. Another character briefly appears, Kit Snicket...

"He who hesitates is lost"

Poor Baudelaires. As if losing your parents, home, uncle and being endlessly pursued by Count Olaf wasn't enough, they have to endure the annoying speech patterns of Captain Widdershins and the ridiculously annoying laughter of Count Olaf in _The Grim Grotto_. (Where did that laugh come from, anyway?) It was almost enough to make me stop reading right there.

But of course, Snicket makes up for these annoyances by not only filling in more of the ongoing plot with more information about VFD, its codes, the Snicket brothers and the Baudelaire parents. I was also pleased about the reintroduction of Phil (from the Lucky Smells Lumbermill). There are a number of flashbacks as well, making it a necessity to have read the previous books.

The story continues with the shades of grey regarding "good" and "evil" that began with _The Carnivorous Carnival_, which I also found entertaining. Characters DO do the unexpected in this one.
