Download Scaramouche: A Romance of the French Revolution Audiobook

" I loved Captain Blood and The Sea Hawk so I was looking forward to this book. Its ok, but didn't live up to my high expectations. "

" exciting story of overachieving noble bastard in run-up to French revolution. Movie starred Ramon Novarro. "

" The novel is broken into three parts; three "books." The setting is the 1790's but the book was written in the 1920's. The first book was an easy read much like action/adventure stories of today. The second book was a bit of a bummer for me. It reminded "

" This is now my favorite swashbuckling French Revolution novel. I still love The Scarlet Pimpernel, but Scaramouche is much more interesting. "

" Since I was a young teenager I've been a fan of Sabatini's Captain Blood. Scaramouche I think is even better. Yes there are witty lines, nuanced fencing scenes and plenty of daring-do, at the same time this has a far more satisfying story-line. Yes any well-read reader will recognise many of the twists and turns. However sabatini keeps the pace and mystery and excitement right to the last page - quite an achievement. "

" Interesting ideas about what causes revolution hidden in the adventure. "

" This is a fun, uncomplicated book about good guys and bad guys. Moreau goes through book with the singular purpose of exacting revenge for the death of a friend. Of course he get's girl. "

" This was a cool book. It seemed like a cross between "Jackaroo" and "The Count of Monte Cristo" to me, which are both books I enjoyed. "

" As I recall, the opening line was something like, "He was born with the gift of laughter, and a sense that the world was mad." "

" I love it. If I believed in guilty pleasures, this would be one, yet I will defend it to the death. "

" this is a very entertaining read. it's clever, interesting, unpredictable and completely mesmerizing. the first two parts are especially enlightening. I wish I had read this when I was a in high school as it is full of fascinating insight for a young man trying to find his way in the world. "

" One of my favoriters from my youth-- a ripping good yarn. "

" Love this book! If you liked Scarlet Pimpernel, Captan Blood, or Prince of Foxes you will like this one! "

" Thoroughly enjoying it - for the second time. My edition, found rummaging my book shelves, is an elementary school discard. Can't recall if I actually got it in elementary school (it would have been grade 7 when I worked in the library as volunteer) but I know I read it sometime in my school days. "

" Loved it! Quotable, exciting, witty. Everything you would expect from a swashbuckler. This is my second Sabatini novel and it did not disappoint. "

" This is hugely cheesy, but I love it. Swashbuckling. I'm a sucker for pirates...and swords. Basically-cheese. "

" Just a tad slower then "Captain Blood" or "The Sea Hawk", none-the-less, "Scaramouche" was wonderfully conceived and raised significant issues that are still very valid today. Great ending. "

" I am a fan. Good Book. "

" Re-read October 2011: I read this the first time when I think I was 14. Liked it then. I liked it the second time through too, but I didn't have as big a respect for it. I didn't think it was that well written. Not bad either though. "

" Amazing how the themes of this book apply to our society today. "

" Fantastic and witty adventure story. Loved! "

" I have really enjoyed this book every time I have read it. I am currently reading it for the third time. "
