Title: Sappy and Overwhelming
Product review: I have a confession to make, I actually stopped reading this book after about 100 pages. Why? Because I decided that it wasn't worth my time. To be honest, I think I would have enjoyed this book when I was about 16, but now it just irked my soul with sappiness.Quite ridiculous. Like some hybrid of Elsie Dinsmore and the Scarlet Pimpernel.See the below quotations for proof:"I can imagine that you try Richard's patience somewhat...happily, your impetuosity in no way disturbs me." p. 38.My favorite quote: "She noted the firm, beautifully curved mouth, the aristocratic nose and delicately pencilled eyebrows, with a little thrill. The duel had set her every nerve tingling; she was filled with admiration for her preserver, and the sight of his sensitive, handsome countenance did nothing to dispel that admiration." p. 74.How could anyone seriously read that last quote and not laugh out loud?
