The Carnivorous Carnival is the 9th installment in the Baudelaire orphans' Series of Unfortunate Events. The orphans have escaped the burning hospital from Book 8 by climbing in the trunk of Count Olaf's car and sneaking away with him and his evil henchmen. They arrive at a carnival isolated in the barren hinterlands and immediately realize that they must disguise themselves so that Olaf and his friends will not recognize them. They get jobs as carnival freaks and try to find a way to escape and continue to look for the Snicket file and the possibility that one of their parents might still be alive.
This book is another fun installment in the series, but unfortunately, for some time the series has been dragging. It is possible that for children each book is entertaining as a stand alone book, but for me, I find that the repetitive formula of each is now tiresome and I am ready for it to conclude. I continue to be impressed by the writing style and the clever way the author uses language to instruct and entertain. Overall the series is fantastic, but the pace is frustratingly slow at this point. Hopefully the pace will accelerate as the ending draws near. |
