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.

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.

To avoid causing discomfort, 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

Brought for granddaughter

I bought this for a lockdown treat for my granddaughter, who loves this author, she loved it.
It kept her reading during the period away from school, and was another in the set she was collecting, and often read to us over FaceTime.

I read this book as a child and wanted to purchase it in order to complete my collection.
It tells the story of the Baudelaire orphans in a carnival where they have to disguise themselves as 'freaks' in order to prevent their identities from being discovered.
The book contains the usual amount of woes that the children have to go through and it is gripping with a cliffhanger ending that means you are sure to want to read the next book.
I highly recommend this series to anyone aged about 8 years old. Keep in mind that it is advisable to read them in chronological order (the first book is called the Bad Beginning).
This book like the rest in the series never fails to deliver the right amount of thrills and imaginative scenarios to make a gripping book!
The pages are small with easy to read writing and short chapters making it suitable for children.

The Carnivorous Carnival.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 January 2014

One of the greatest books I have ever read! The story starts with the ending from book 8 (the Hostile Hospital)when Violet, Klaus and Sunny were sitting in the back of Count Olaf' s car. Violet finds a way to get out of the boot when the car stops and Count Olaf had gone away, and the children disguised themselves as "freaks". The story goes on with humour and I strongly advise you to read the other books by the same author, Lemony Snicket. I am nearly 10 and I have read the Series of Unfortunate Events books from numbers 1-9. This story leaves you hanging at the end when you have to read number 10 (The Slippery Slope.) I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL I HAVE THE NEXT BOOK!!!!
