I just read The Scarlet Pimpernel, after stumbling across it in a second-hand bookstore. Legolas Send a noteboard - 03/10/2011 02:17:15 PM
In Istanbul, of all places. But anyway... not to offend you or anything, but it really isn't a very good book. :P I'm almost inclined to say that the chick-lit inspired by it that I read a year or two back was about as good as the original.

But then we all have our guilty pleasures, of course.

The final book is among the better ones, albeit completely unrelated to the rest of the series. *NM* Legolas - 10/10/2011 10:42:39 PM 408 Views
Either way, they're mercifully short works, compared to Der Zauberberg and Anna Karenina. Tom - 11/10/2011 01:07:59 AM 911 Views
It is perhaps the worst pile of shit I have read in a long time. Tom - 19/10/2011 03:04:12 AM 842 Views
Oh. I guess there's no accounting for tastes. Legolas - 19/10/2011 08:08:50 PM 883 Views
