highly recommended

Overall, "The Scarlet Pimpernel" is fun and exciting, for the young and young at heart, as long as you sit back and don't let the repitions irritate you. I'd give it a try on a rainy day.

"They seek him here, they seek him there..."

You can read a true review from the others----but in this case, the story is honestly, mostly about the marriage between a man and a woman, Lord and Lady Percy Blakeney. The conflict between them and the conflict of the French Republic. There is a lot on feelings and emotions---skip over that whole lot and you've got a darned skinny book. But the characters are good, its too bad there not fleshed out enough; however, they are intriguing. Who is the Scarlet Pimpernel? I'm sure we all know, but reading the true story makes it all the more wonderful to discover again.

A Great Read!

To those who complain that the book is not historically accurate, note that Margaret Mitchell's Gone With the Wind is also not historically accurate. Neither book is intended to be an accurate rending of history. They are both intended to be romance stories, adventure stories. If you are looking for historical accuracy, look elsewhere. But if you are looking for an exciting, romantic, breathtaking novel, then look no further than the Scarlet Pimpernel.
