extremely good book. It was very easy to get hooked to and stayed interesting throughout the book.
I enjoyed it very much. The French Revolution is my favorite historical period to study and the perspective of a young woman who was so tragically involved in it fascinated me. I'm also interested in music and theory, which is a large part of Andi's part of the story. I can tell that the author is well-rounded and knows a lot about a variety of subjects. Note: do not look up the Fireworks Concerto, which is mentioned frequently,on YouTube. It is fictional. I was upset when I learned this.
The intertwining of the French Revolution and the modern day story is fascinating. I also truly enjoyed the musical aspects of the story as well as trying to determine the main character and mother's internal struggles.
really good it may be hard to start off with depends what type of reader you are , its really good give it a try but stay to the end and read all of it otherwise you wont get it
I thought that at the beginning of the book it was hard going. I almost put it down but I wanted to read it to the end. The French Revolution isn't my faviroute historical period, but this book was an exception.
So good, really heart-felt with the perfect twists and turns. It was theoretically good , referring to the goth theme which wasn't too Gothic and wasn't too girly. The tragedy of loosing Truman reflected on her whole life until she was swept back into the past to see how the things were before. The bond between the little prince of France and Tru was remarkable, and Andy being the only girl who can open it and live it was absolutely astounding. Brilliantly weaved, just like an arabian silk carpet and suspenseful and heart-breaking. ***** stars
OUI! J'ai ADORÉ l'histoire dans ce livre! (YES! I LOVED the history in this book!) This book is about the French Revolution, which #1) I find history in general very fascinating #2) I've been learning how to speak French in school and #3) We just started learning about the French Revolution in my social studies class!!!!!!!! I just happened to come across this book in my library at this coincidental time!!! How crazy is that? All of those factors added up and made this book very exciting for me to read. Yet, even with out the circumstances, I would have loved Revolution anyway. The way the author wrote the book from Andi's point of view was very personal, and it made me feel the same emotions that Andi went through. I cried. I laughed. I was on the edge of my seat, waiting to see what happened next (Eiffel Tower scene AAAHHH!). I got butterflies in my stomach when Virgil was sweet. Jennifer Donnelly is a GENIUS.
