The Scarlet Pimpernel

No one seemed to be 100% sold on this book. Those that could get into enjoyed it, but we kept getting off topic. We all would have liked to hear more about Percy's disguises. It was interesting to find out that there are 16 books in the series. Well, it is kind of a series. Two take place before this book, some focus on specific characters, etc. Me, being me, recommended (more than once) the musical by Frank Wildhorn and the movie with Jane Seymour, Anthony Andrews and Ian McKellen. I loved the ending and how romantic it was in the book. The movie and musical do not to that justice. Any other thoughts?

We had a fabulous Red Velvet cake ball and several red candies to round out our evening. Next month on November 13th we are meeting at Kacey's to discuss The Host by Stephenie Meyer.
