Reviews
spoiled by the summary





Kristie
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!! My first Baroness Orczy novel, and I loved every little chapter. My only critique is the summary written by our awesome narrator Karen: Sir Percy Blakeney and his alter ego. So I knew before I started this book who the Scarlet Pimpernel was, so I missed the mystery of it. Still and all, 5 stars for a fantastic writer, novel, and narrator!!!
great story

I just love this story. It kept my attention from the very beginning through to the very end. The vivid details make it so easy to feel as though you're right there with the characters. Of course the wonderful reader helped with that too. Its suspenseful, somewhat sad, and absolutely hilarious at times. The writer did a wonderful job at slowly piecing the story together which allowed you to follow along and assemble the puzzle as it unfolded. I also liked that she doesn't come right out and say who the Scarlet Pimpernel is. She only implies and lets you figure it out along with Marguerite.
Very Fun!

The Scarlet Pimpernel is a tolerably well-written adventure story. If frequently repeated phrases don’t bother you (peremptory, or low, musical voice, or childlike face,etc) then you’ll probably enjoy this book. Once again, Karen Savage is a delight to listen to. I knew she was talented in English accents, so when she proved to be comfortable in French I was quite pleasantly surprised. Definitely recommend!
Better than I expected

I began listening to this book and after the first chapter, I thought it wasn't going to appeal to me. However, I came back to it a couple of months later and listened to the entire book. It was entertaining throughout and excellently read. I recommend it to anyone who loves a happy ending.





Phil Walker
Absolutely brilliant reading. Karen Savage pronunciation of all the French words makes this reading. I was riveted like no other librovox title. I have literally listened to this book like 5 times. Ms. Savage you have my eternal gratitude. I have listened to a thousand titles, this was the finest of them all.

this reader was the best that could ever do this book. She made it come to life and make it so interesting to listen to even though I know I've heard this story a million times. It is a Timeless book of mystery Intrigue and love
Epic

Wonderful! Pleasantly surprised. Almost all you could ask for in a book. More description of how and what for pimpernel “knew“ when things are starting to untangle at the end would have been nice. as usual, wonderful reading done by Karen Savage
Incredible little book
