Madame Guillotine submitted by adipirro on July 7, 2011, 11:56am I love everything "French Revolution." Although not one of the best books about the French Revolution, I would still recommend it to fellow lovers of the time period/historical event!

Of course nothing beats "The Scarlet Pimpernel" for French Revolution fanatics :)

And for those of you who can't read the writing in red this is "The Pimpernelles," Book 1. Book 2 is called "The Traitor's Smile"

Okay submitted by zmclaugh on July 25, 2018, 2:36pm The main character spends a lot of the book doing nothing, which makes it a little boring to read. The author also expends a lot of effort to namedrop historical figures, which we don't really need.
