"This is one of the worst books I have ever read. It is set during the French Revolution and the character is a complete anti-hero, running around creating problems and then leaving other people to suffer while he runs off to do something else. And in the end, he ends up being one of the murderous Jacobins of the revolution who cruelly rejects the man who cared for him and brought him up, allowing him to be destroyed by the revolutionaries.. The plot is interesting, but the main character is completely terrible. Don't even waste your time."
"I read this as a teenager and it left a great impression on me. I found it to be a deliciously complex novel with an ingenious protagonist. I don't know whether I would still feel the same if I reread it now. Since I don't have access to it any more (it was in my high school library) it's a moot point"
"If you happen to be in the market for a great summer read, here you are. Originally published by Rafael Sabatini in 1921, the book tells the story of Andre-Louis Moreau. Andre-Louis is a man of illigitimate birth who is raised with almost all the privilages of his nobleman godfather. The book is set at the cusp of the French Revolution and tries to explain the attitudes of the different classes of people and how the revolution turned into the blood bath that it became. In the middle of all that sort of danger, Andre-Louis crosses the temper of a very powerful man, the Marquis de la Tour d'Azyr and has to live a life on the run.
I don't think this book approaches the greatness of Dickens Tale of Two Cities, one of my personal favorites, there isn't the depth to the characters or the same satisfaction in the ending. Still, I strongly recommend this book and think that you will really enjoy it!"
"A rollicking good tale, set during the French Revolution, and following the daring escapades of Scaramouche, the mysterious clown with the sword. Pure entertainment, with the ever so slight justification of being in the genre of historical fiction. Part mystery, part political, and all adventure, a good read. I also recommend the movie by the same title starring Stewart Granger as Scaramouche."
