My wife loves the story so well, her scarlet red BMW has a personalized license plate PIMPRNL. And the reader is fabulous. Quite the story teller...

It is easy and light hearted read.

I loved the story and Karen's many accent inotations. She has an English accent , she is not a Texan!! My only criticism is that, I found Karen was speaking far too fast. In fact, four times I had to replay a part and put my volume on high, so I could understand the word that she had just hurried!! I could often hear her gasping for breath, because she was racing through the text. Two examples of such, were in chapter 18 at 4.06 approximately, she said, '' Bluebeards" wife. I presume it was in reference, to the famous pirate and at 3.57 approximately, she said, "unmolested". It sounded as if, she was in a hurry and that annoyed me. I would have given her five stars but for that. I look forward to checking out other books by this author. I hope , Karen doesn't narrate her other books, quite as fast. However, I'd still like to thank Karen, if she's reading this.

queen of the readers

this is my first time listening to Karen Savage but it won't be my last. I think that she speaks the queen's English better than HRH herself and I was truly amazed to learn that she is actually from Texas the novel is very fast paced and the baroness has not wasted any text on unnecessary diversions or flowery explanations. the combination of the precise reading and the economic writing is that this story zips along and you really don't want to press the stop button. this was an excellent listen and I heartily recommend it..

Wonderful! I’ve listened to it twice and it never fails to keep me on my toes. Karen savage is by far the best narrator I have ever listened to. I also highly recommend others of the scarlet pimpernel series.each one is an amazing account of how the mysterious hero thwarts his enemies and uses his witty jokes to make them still angrier!!!!!!

Excellently read!

Karen Savage is one of the best readers on Librivox, in my opinion, and she did an amazing job with this book. Good use of different accents, good pronunciation, of the French words, and all round very engaging. The story itself kept me on the edge of my seat! Such loveable characters along side a believable and passionate villian.

Story was great and Narrator was Perfect

Karen Savage (of Waco TX, 2007 haha) read The Scarlet Pimpernel beautifully. She has a professional way of making the distinction between characters, pronouncing the french words, and making the older language more comprehensive for the novice like myself. I can not applaude Karen enough for her wonderful job.

Excellent story, very well read

Another great read by Karen Savage, who is now my favorite Librivox reader. She provides just enough variation of characters' dialogues to give them life and personality, without going so far to be annoying. And this excellent story provided her with many interesting characters to bring to life.
