Chilling, yet non-explicit description of French Revolution Violence. Esp. Madame Guillotine
Characterization Plot Overall Rating
Great variety. Compelling and thought-provoking characters. You almost find yourself yelling at "the screen" as you watch the plot unfold. The descriptive is a little heavy at first, but soon the story pulls you in.
