Book Reviews of The Secret History of the Pink Carnation
Book Review: A Smashingly Fun Romp thru History and the Present
Summary: 5 Stars
It is a work of FICTION! It is not historically corect.... but if you read the end of the book Ms. Willig tells you she changed some of the facts, as far as history goes. It is a fun romp with unexpected twists and turns.
I was given the second book in the series by a friend of mine, that had not read the book. Someone gave it to her, it just is not her kind of book. She ask me to go thru a basket of books to see if there was anything inside I might be interested in reading. I picked up the second book and when I got home, started to read it. I realized it was the second of a series of book and came to Amazon.com to see if I could find the first book. I found it (along with two others in the series), and bought all of them. I waited patiently for the mailman to bring the books. Oh, joy the first book finally arrived and I started to read.
What a JOY! I read the book so fast it was unreal. I couldn't put it down, and when I was finished, I was sorry the story was over, but I had the next books to read. They too, all read very fast! I am a fan of the series, and am waiting for the paperback versions of the next two, to come out. (I just like paperbacks, easier to haul around than hardbacks).
They are JUST FUN books and if you take them as that, you will totally enjoy them if you like historical fiction with a dose of romance and comedy. Also has a healthy dose of the present in the story that is also fun to read.
I hope you find these books as entertaining as I did.
Thank You, Lauren Willig!
