I haven’t posted in a while. Hehe. Anyway, I’ve finished The Scarlet Pimpernel a few days ago. It was a bit fast (it had swiftly narrated the history of the characters and how they came to that point - i.e. the courting of Margarete (sp?) and Sir Percy) and the beginning was quite uninteresting. However, as the story progressed, it became more suspenseful and gripping. The only downside is that the suspense did not last very long. By the latter part of the novel, the story became quite predictable (at least to me). Maybe if the author expounded on other details or histories (of the characters, not of the French Revolution), it would have turned out to be a greater novel. Nevertheless, it was good. =)
