The Scarlet Pimpernel, with eBook Audiobook

" SIR PERCY, YOU TERRIBLE PRAT. "

" I just didn't like it. It wasn't poorly written, it just couldn't keep my interest. "

" Set in revolutionary France, this is a cleverly written action novel that follows a band of aristocratic English men as they work to save innocent victims of the blood-thirsty revolution and it's dreaded Madam le Guillotine. It also follows the difficult journey of a married couple as they rediscover each other and the love, trust and confidence they once shared. "

" This was a typical romance story of this era. I enjoyed if a lot even though I was able to figure out who The Scarlet Pimpernel was immediately. There were no surprises. "

" I will read this again and again, but I haven't yet. Clever, good romance, brilliant writing, and mysterious. "

" a very good read! I wished it was a longer book, so I had more time to enjoy it! "

" What a load of romantic tosh. I loved it, couldn't put it down. Don't analyse, just revel. I'm going to marry Sir Percy when I grow up. "

" Read this book! I have seen the play and in typical fashion the book is even more wonderful. This was a really fun read. "

" I read it with a dictionary close at hand, but it was still so fun. The characters frustrate you but that is just because they are so human. It is a classic for a good reason. "

" Such a wonderful book!!!! Can't wait for the 2015(isn) movie version with Neil Jackson, if it is still in development. "

" Always a great read!! I sometimes equate The Scarlet Pimpernel as a combo of Pride & Prejudice and Tale of Two Cities (two of my faves, of course). "

" Started out slowly while setting plot, characters, etc which I struggled through due to language. The book got much better as it progressed and "as advertised" was an adventure/romance novel. I enjoyed the book but not to the point that I would actively seek out other books by this author. "

" HILARIOUS!!! I LOVE this movie too!!! "

" The writing gets a little dramatic as the book goes on but I love the story. "

" This book was great! Much different from the movie version but lovely just the same. "

" What a load of romantic tosh. I loved it, couldn't put it down. Don't analyse, just revel. I'm going to marry Sir Percy when I grow up. "

" The book starts excitingly and mysteriously enough, but end with a whimper instead of a bang and rather too quickly. The movie staring Anthony Andrews and Jane Seymour improves upon a well conceived if poorly executed plot. "

" I really, really liked it. I just have a hard time with the whole, it was amazing option, but I really really liked it. "

" Loved this book!! I fell in love with the characters and loved the twist this book has. It's set during the French Revolution or the "Reign of Terror" and the author does a good job of giving the reader a glimpse of this horrible historical era. "

" One of the best romantic books ever. "

" Just a fun read with some good ole mushy romance and a little history sprinkled in. I really enjoyed it! "

" Historically inaccurate, but oh so entertaining. "

" Really good for a book I had to read for school. "

" I forgot how fun this is. Makes me want to re-read Lauren Willig's Pink Carnation series too! "

" Intrigue. French Revolution. Romance. Oh, yes! Enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. "

" Fun book. I figured out the Scarlet Pimpernel's identity before (view spoiler)[his wife (hide spoiler)] did. "

" I've reread this book so many times, memorized page numbers, reread passages time and again. It remains my favorite book to date. "

" A delightful read. Listened to Karen Savage's free recording at Librivox.org--very well done! "

" This was one of my FAVORITE books growing up! Such a great story -very exciting! "

" Give this a 5 because I couldn't put it down! "

" A good classic but sometimes hard to follow some of the "frenchy" words. I liked the movie too. "

" one of my all time favorite reads "

" One of my favorite stories ever, ever, ever! "

" Liz loaned me the book and said it was her favorite and I can see why. Cute, simple and easy. "

" Really I give it a 3.5 stars. It was definitely predictable and it had that happily-ever-after ending that does get old, but I enjoyed reading this book. It was fun. I loved Percy's character. And I loved that Marguerite realized she could actually love him! It was a fun read. "

" This book was really exciting. "

" One of my favourite books that I have reread many times since I first read it in my youth. The French Revolution is not usually a time period I read about but this book and Dickens' "A Tale of Two Cities" are the exceptions. "

" I really enjoyed this story. I have scene the movie and the musical so I knew the twist, but as always, the book is way better. I am glad I bought this book! "

" When I say I finished this book, I mean that I am 10% in and am never going to finish this book. Wanted more 'Three Muskateers' and less... 'Scarlet Pimpernel' I guess. I'm sure this is good for someone, but for me, life is too short... "

" We saw a movie on this book years ago & loved it, but reading the book also helped to clear up some of the things I didn't understand at the time. A great classic! "

" the most enjoyable book I think I've ever read. chivalrous. truly romantic! "

" I loved this book so much. It takes place during the French Revolution, which I don't know much about. It was a little more complex than some of the fluff I like to relax to, but very much worth the concentration. Fabulous. "

" It was fine. I was hoping for a little more. "

" Awsome book about the French Revolution focusing on the Reign of Terror and the flight of French Nobles. "

" Awesome! I love this book. The characters are so real and so heroic! "

" 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. "
