A slippery slope

Like bad smells, uninvited weekend guests, or very old eggs, there are some things that ought to be avoided -- The Slippery Slope is one of them!Snicket's saga about the charming, intelligent, and grossly unlucky Baudelaire orphans continues to alarm its distressed and suspicious fans the world over.

The tenth book in this outrageous publishing effort features more than the usual dose of distressing details, such as snow gnats, an organized troupe of youngsters, an evil villain with a dastardly plan, a secret headquarters, and some dangerous antics you should not try at home.

This is one chilling recording you would be better off without.
