Lizzie - Classic Book Club

Welcome to Classic Book Club

Hello! I am Lizzie, and my main joy in life is reading books and thinking about books! I have so many thoughts about each book I read so wanted a place to record these thoughts, and a place where others who are reading the same book as me can share their thoughts about it too. I’ve tried to write my (often lengthy!) reviews of books so it feels like I am chatting with you as we read the book together, comparing thoughts at the end of a chapter and ideas of where the plot and characters may end up, wondering why the author has written a character or scene in a particular way and what they may be subtly trying to tell us about that character or scene. So enjoy reading along with me, and please get in touch, I’d love to be able to discover more about a favourite book from your thoughts on it.

The Scarlet Pimpernel

I am really keen to read this first book in the Scarlet Pimpernel series. Years ago (and unfortunately, I now feel), I read a later book in the series which I picked up in a charity shop and which appealed to me and which I thoroughly enjoyed and made me want to read the whole series, but it means I do already know the identity of the Scarlet Pimpernel before I start this first book, and I'm sad I won't have the surprise of discovering the secret or be able to judge if it is fairly obvious from the start who he really is.
