They seek him there,
Those Frenchies seek him everywhere,

What fun! An oldfashioned rollicking romance, with dashing young cavaliers and twisted misunderstandings between lovers, set against the horrors of the French Reign of Terror.
The Scarlet Pimpernel himself is slightly more daring and strong than his followers and clever enough to be an Oscar Wilde character,

I admit to not being surprised by a single turn of the storyline, I suspect that I saw this in movie form back in my childhood, But that hardly mattered. I loved the horrible predicaments Marguerite found herself in, the dastardly nature of Chevelin, and the unassailable British character of Sir Percy, Truth is, when we are young girls we dream of a man who is strong, handsome, owns a yacht, and will have eyes for no one but ourselves.
Reading this novel made me feel young again, Here's my new and improved title for this book, . .
The Scarlet Pimpernel: A Classic That Doesn't Suck Sweaty Balls,



I can't usually make it through classic literature,
Does this make me a bad person
I think not,
There are manymanymany other things I do on a daily basis that make me a bad person, but not being able to force myself to read in my opinion outdated and overrated books is not one of them.


There are other readers out there like me, I'm sure of it! And it's you guys that I'm talking to now,
Rejoice, fellow slackers! There is a classic that you can actually read!
Imagine it, . .
You're sitting on a bench engrossed in a book, The person next to you leans over and asks, "What are you reading", You can finally plaster a smugass smile on your face and say, "Why, right now I'm thoroughly enjoying Orczy's classic, The Scarlet Pimpernel.
".
See! Doesn't that sound awesome!
And when someone asks you what you've recently read, you won't have to admit to the fact that you're deep into a series about an alien who falls in love with his human neighbor, your extensive comic book collection, or all of that erotica that's hidden neatly away on your Kindle!



Now is this book really a five star novel by my 'realbook' standards
Fuck, no!
It's old as shit.
The copy I got didn't even have anything on the cover,
You know it's old when it has got that black coverthing going on,
The pages were creaky, it smelled weird, and I think there's a possibility I should have had it tested for mold before I brought it into my house.

But.
It's a readable book,
Go get it, and for a few blissful moments, you can pretend that you're an intellectual giant,



audiobook

Listening to this was an even better experience than reading it,
for the Naxos Audiobooks edition with Bill Homewood as the narrator, Loved it!
This book has everything I want in an adventure novel daring rescues, crazy disguises, a clever and bold heroine, an intelligent hero with a sense of humor, and a love story with a twist.

Highly Recommended! I loved this book, It is so much better than the movie, I love the movie too, but the book is so much richer in detail, The only reason I didn't go for ais that I am a sentimental fool and I wanted to see more of the reconciliation of Percy and Marguerite.
It ended so quickly. There was so much build up as Marguerite realizes her errors and her love, . . that I wanted some more resolution there, There were some good thoughts that I really related to, . . it says of Marguerite ". . she, too, had worn a mask in assuming a contempt for him, whilst, as a matter of fact, she completely misunderstood him, " So true. People that we dislike are more likely simply people that we don't understand, It is also interesting to me the way that her heart guided her from the beginning to select Percy, . . even though later on she seems to not know why she married him at all, She should have trusted her heart all along and known that she would not have chosen an individual that was not admirable and courageous, Lastly pride is a good theme, Nearly ruined them. I haven't mentioned the political setting of the story, Besides, of course, the enourmous tradegy, it is an interesting study of human nature, It reminded me of the women's movement, Of course a good thing, that I am truly grateful for, . . but in the effort to be ever so equal, there is a level of degradation as well, Brogard, a free citizen, behaves rudely to other characters in the novel, . . as explanation "It was distinctly more fitting to his newborn dignity to be as rude as possible it was a sure sign of servility to meekly reply to civil questions.
" . . it was "his right as a citizen and a free man, to be as rude as he well pleased, " In order for women to be equal to men, must we also be as crude, aggressive and well, manly as men This novel is set inin England and France during the French Revolution's "Reign of Terror", In spite of the time and seriousness of these events, the novel doesn't take itself too seriously, Baroness Orczy wasn't trying to be political or make a statement, she was just trying to write a good story, What she wrote was a rollicking bit of a mystery/adventure/intrigue that was for me surprisingly good,

The story is about an unknown, but gallant, Englishman and his secret band of followers who sneak into France and save French citizen's, mostly aristocrats, from the blade of the guillotine, and then shepherd them safely to England.
The book is not overly long and is not your typical English classic, but I throughly enjoyed it,
stars.
