Pros: exciting page-turner plot; easy to read Cons: very poor writing and character development; biased look at French Revolution
I remember when I first heard the movie of the same name as the book, I was four years old, and of course the first thing I thought was, “The scarlet pimple? Why would anyone name a movie that?” Hey, I was only four! Well, fast forward ten years and I...
Pros: adventure, humor, romance
Cons: predictable, pace a bit slow before main characters are introduced
