Probably one of the greatest romantic action books ever written. I think most people are familiar with the story but if you have never read the book I would strongly reccomend it. I have seen about 5 different movie versions and none of them get the stry right. The story is really about several things. It is about the injustice done to the masses by the French Aristo's and the people's retaliation against them. It is about a husband and wife and the results of their pride and like of communication. It is about the daring and adventure of youth when a cause presents itself. So if these things interest you, READ THE BOOK!
