Rating: Summary: Anggelique, Marquise of Angels Review: Extraordinary, fascinating, exciting, marvellous, captivating, one of those "once you start reading, can't put it down" books, full of adventure, intrigue, romance, and from cover to cover filled with historical facts.
Rating: Summary: Angelique - Queen of All Romances Review: This is a trap! I have fallen into "Angelique's trap" and been there for 15 years. It treats you like a king - gives you everything and more - more than you could ever ask for. It never lets you down - but it never lets you out. You want to read the books again and again, and as years go by, you still learn from them and can't get enough of them. And you never regret it.
Rating: Summary: Wonderful book, magical series Review: I only found the Angelique series a few years ago and I love them. This book is the beginning, and it is utterly gripping. The development of the story, the characterisations, the detailed yet fascinating explanation of the history, the way real characters are brought to life and the captivating personality of Angelique not only set up the rest of the series, but make this book a classic in its own right.No wonder this book was made into a film (in fact, 5 films) and also a best-selling play. I read it every year and love it every time
Rating: Summary: Best historical romance ever written! Review: Angelique, Marquise of the Angels is the beginning of the most incredibly well written series of historical romance ever published. If you loved Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind, you will adore Angelique de Sance! This book is hard to put down as are all the books in the Angelique series! The whole series of books are turning into collectors items and are a must for your library!
Rating: Summary: the best historical fiction book ever written Review: when this book came out in 1958 the New York Times reviewed it and said it was a masterpiece. It still is, 40 years later, and as fresh as it ever was. These books sold 150 million copies around the world, and will sell many more in years to come.
Rating: Summary: Not so good Review: I don't understand all these enthusiastic comments! Angelique is a bad book, older than 40 years
Rating: Summary: makes you want to go to France and relive the story yourself Review: I get a kick out of the other reviews. All of us seem to feel the same way. We love Angelique and we hated to read the end. We hope Anne Golon will continue to write in the future. We all look forward to the English translation of the last three. I've read a million books, this one stays with you for years..our favorite....
Rating: Summary: Anne Golon's legal battle Review: I have discovered that the reason the last three books have not been translated into English is because the author is in a legal battle with the publisher over her authors rights, which has drawn on for 6 years! Her day in court is coming, Oct 4, 1999! There are petitions to be found on the web for support of Anne. As many of us know, these are books in one of the best series ever written, (to my mind). The author is actually writing the final two, now, but has become impoverished because of her legal battle.
Rating: Summary: Absolutely fantastic Review: I have read these books recently as my mother told me I would enjoy them. The first book was so breath-taking that I had to read the rest, and each was as good as the others. I am only 15, and so this proves that these books can be loved by everyone, but I am impatient to read the final three, and just hope they come out soon as I can't stand the suspense.
Rating: Summary: Excellent - can't get enough of these Angelique books. Review: I have read the first nine books and am hoping the last 3 will be translated into English. Did I read where a customer said there were also videotapes? I want this story to last forever.
