Reviews

spoiled by the summary


(5 stars)

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!!!

Fun story and great reader


(5 stars)

This is a great story with action, suspense, comedy, and romance. Very fun and well written. It is also wonderfully read. Karen is a wonderful expressive reader.

Very Fun!


(5 stars)

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


(5 stars)

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.


(5 stars)

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.

Epic


(4 stars)

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
