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.

That's a bit how I'm feeling these days. I read, but I don't remember anything. *NM* Rebekah - 10/10/2011 06:37:15 PM 377 Views
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 383 Views
Either way, they're mercifully short works, compared to Der Zauberberg and Anna Karenina. Tom - 11/10/2011 01:07:59 AM 863 Views
It is perhaps the worst pile of shit I have read in a long time. Tom - 19/10/2011 03:04:12 AM 790 Views
Oh. I guess there's no accounting for tastes. Legolas - 19/10/2011 08:08:50 PM 843 Views
