This book is wonderful!! It is wholesome, suspenseful in some parts, deep, has engaging characters, and the happiest ending i have read in a while. I don't know how to put this but reading many of Baroness Orczy's contemporary authors, a despairing, almost jaded outlook on life comes in through their satire. But her books seem inherently- hopeful. Yes they portray evil- but they portray goodness & faith as more powerful. I also loved that the main character is truly a gentle man- his strongest trait is his compassion. We need more people like that. This book is decidedly a fun read- I got swept away in it. Emmuska Orczy could've been a detective, I just marvel at how her mind came up with this stuff. Its a crazy adventure story along with a beautiful romance & old friendships & saving peoples lives- & danger. I found it very comforting & life affirming in the end. If you are having a hard time & have a day to spare (cause you're going to want to finish this book in one sitting!) and you just need to get away for a bit and have some good old suspenseful running around in the streets of paris fun, and you also might be in need of a little reassurance and beauty and goodness and a story that turns out happy in the end, then this is the book for you!! enjoy!

Couldn’t put it down. What a great classic!

Couldn’t quite bring myself to believe all the shenanigans.

Great story with a romantic touch and interesting to know that this book influenced many vigilante stories.

Great book! Cool peek into the French Revolution and a sweet love story

My grandma begged me for years to read or watch the Scarlet Pimpernel, however, me being the young, stubborn little girl I was, refused. However, recently, I finally gave in and watched the 1982 Scarlet Pimpernel movie with her. I loved it so much that I watched it four more times after that within the span of two days after watching it the first time. I knew I had to read the book!! This book was extraordinary! At first, I wasn’t sure if I was going to like it, but in the end, I absolutely adored it. It is a real page turner, never a dull moment or slow part. The characters were brilliant, and the ending left me at a loss for words. The romance in this story had me screenshotting quotes left and right! Hell, if only all men were like Sir Percy Blakeney, haha. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys historical literature, romance, dashing heroes, etc.

Plot was good kinda dragged for me

Fabulous. Exciting. Amazing.

It was amusing, but cheesey. Odd’s fish!

Extremely readable adventure story. It was not all what I expected. Told in s straight forward writing style with a heavy pinch of British charm. Only criticism is that the character depth is little shallow, but it's the plot line that drives this novel. I was sad to finish reading it.
