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.

However, those who have been avidly following the misfortunes of the Baudelaire orphans, attempting to prevent the villainous Count Olaf from stealing their inheritance, are in for a treat with The Carnivorous Carnival.
For Lemony's latest (actually the work of San Franciscan Jewish author Daniel Handler) is one of the darkest so far in the series, squeezing circus freaks, arson, kidnapping and the worrying spectre of key characters being eaten by lions into its 286 pages.
Eventually they find themselves at a shabby carnival run by the mysterious Madame Lulu and, while disguised as circus freaks in an effort to avoid their arch nemesis, make some startling discoveries about the fire that killed their parents.

 Review | The Carnivorous Carnival by Lemony Snicket
There's been a rather longish wait for The Carnivorous Carnival to appear (not, however, as long as the one for J.K. Rowling's next Harry Potter book, which is due to hit bookstores, I think, in 2008).

But, as always, the joys of text are to be found in the elaborately constructed sentences which decorate what's rapidly becoming a particularly Snicketian style.
