The Scarlet Pimpernel (Abridged) Audiobook

" This was lots of fun... we read it together as a family and had a lot of fun. "

" I first read this in high school and loved it and have read it several more times since. One of my all time favorite books! "

" I haven't read this book for years and years. Reading it again was a delight. "

" The story seemed a little bit predictable, but maybe because I read too many of these kinds of books... "

" I had to read this for school. It's okay but I honestly like "A Tale if Two Cities" more. It's good for fans of romance and adventure in one "

" LOVED IT. ITS EXCICTING ROMANCE AND PERCY IS FUNNY TOO! "

" This book has come to be one of my favorites for its humor, adventure, and historical setting, 18th century France in the midst of the French Revolution. It will leave you clamoring for more. "

" my favourite novel whch i read during my school days...its a romantic thriller very nice to read.. "

" I found it predictable not surprising. "

" Fun, entertaining, easy read. I was a little annoyed how long it took the main "brilliant" character to put two and two together but overall, it was a good book. "

" Classic book that I wanted to read for a long time (well... actually listened to this). But it is for younger adults. "

" I knew the story before I read the book from the broadway play. It was very fun to read. I really enjoyed reading the book and was surprised that I had a hard time putting it down even though I already knew basically what was going to happen. "

" Couldn't stop reading it! Different than the movie but still just as good. "

" Not so much about the Pimpernel as about Lady Blakely who gets involved in his activities. Kind of a romance novel without much romance and an action novel without much action. "

" One of my favorite books of all time! It has romance and action all tied up in one! Amazing book! "

" Amy and Ali read and re-read the book and watched and re-watched the movie when they were kids. I'm just now getting around to reading it. Now I want to see the movie. "

" I really enjoyed this book, right before I finished this book I watched the movie- with Jane Seymour in it. There were quite a few differences, but then they adapted the movie from 2 books, not just that one. So that explains some of the differences, though they did follow the book pretty well. "

" The Scarlet Pimpernel is my favorite fictional character of all time. Thank you Emmuska Orczy. "

" Fun easy read that somehow took me much longer than it should have. Probably because it's summer and I'd rather be in the yard. "

" Beautifully written love story with espionage and adventure. Underrated. "

" I really enjoyed reading this book. I found it easy to understand and the way the characters were introduced was fantastic! "

" Classic story and classic storytelling. I really enjoyed the action, mystery and a little bit of romance. "

" Great audiobook! I couldn't stop listening & finished it in one day! "

" Don't read this. It's stupid and poorly written. And the Baroness apparently didn't know that only 6% of the victims of the Terror were aristocrats. "

" Many of the scenes from the play I saw a few years back I can finally see through the author's words. I would say it is a fast read and would recommend especially school age (think middle school and up) to read this. "

" liked it so much more than I thought I would, really gripping story. "

" it definitely took me a little while to get into this book, but once i did, i was caught up in it. not my new favorite book, but worth a read for sure. (and it's not that long--for anyone who gets intimidated by classics!) "

" Decent read, though a bit boring at first. I'd been wanting to read this book for awhile and I'm glad I finally got to it. Nothing too special about it, though. I predicted the ended long before so I felt like I wasn't very surprised. However, I still enjoyed this book "

" I really enjoyed the book. It was a fun adventure story. Not terribly long, but a fairly quick and entertaining read. "

" They seek there, They seek him here - refrain throughout the book - I cannot remember all the titles that I read but best in adventure reading. "

" I love the adventure and romance. The second time through I started to catch Orczy's tongue-in-cheek toward her heroine. I hadn't realized the first time through how DRAMATIC everything is for Marguerite. Fun! "

" This is the best book based in the French Revolution I have ever read. To me it explained why the French citizens hated their nobles. And you can't help but love the league of the scarlet pimpernel and Sir Percy's ingenuity! "

" Loved it! Didn't want to put it down! It's a mystery, a love story and an adventure story all in one. Another story to inspire me to study the French Revolution! "

" I cannot imagine this book included in the Everyman's Library Childrens' Classics, but it is!! along with Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, etc. I suppose for older children, it certainly has suspense and mystery. I certainly enjoyed it. "

" I absolutely adored this story! It is a tale that has suspense, mystery, adventure, humor, and love...how could anyone not love this classic book? "

" Good adventure, so-so writing. Especially choppy start, but it smoothed out a few chapters in. I think my girls (the 10yo & 7yo) will enjoy it. "
