The idea was good, but the characters are annoying and the writing is really cheesy. The dialogue was bad, and all that angst was exasperating. Also, the only interesting part of this book was the part where she goes back in time, and that took forever to get there. Oh, and the end? How she makes some HUGE discovery in her high school thesis, and no one else had ever put two and two together? Please...

One of the best books I think I have ever read. Although it was a little long..."When are we going to get to the time travel part? I swear it said something about going back in time on the back cover..."...You can totally tell that the author put a whole lot of work into it, and that makes it such a fabulous book. Stories like these make historical fiction so much more interesting!!!

Interesting book on the French Revolution, music and one girl's recovering from her young brother's death. A bit on the long side, but a good read if you take the time it requires.

One of the rare books that I would think about when away from it eagerly waiting to pick it up again.

I love this book so much! The writing is just brilliant, and the writing makes the character come alive and jump out of the page. I just want to give Andi a hug :) Plus, this book takes place in Paris! And no, this book is NOT set during the french revolution, it's set during the present and Andi finds a diary from a girl who did live during the French Revolution ;)

I stumbled across this book quite by accident, and to my pleasant surprise it turned out to be one of those fantastic books you simply can't put down. I happen to be learning about the French Revolution at school, and reading this book tied in perfectly with what I am studying. It also helped me understand everything just that little bit extra. Even knowing nothing about the French Revolution, this book would still be amazing. Give it a try!

I wasn't sure if I was going to like this book. But once I started reading I couldn't put it down! The Author did a great job! I kept wondering what was going to happen next. Can't wait to read other books from Jennifer Donnelly!

A very well written book by Jennifer. I have never read any of her other books, but I will most definitely want to read them to see if they are as good as Revolution. It definitely shed light on aspects of the French Revolution that made me want to learn more.

(Andi on visiting the Abelard Library for a school project): I was confused at first. I didn't know the drill. But I've got it figured out now. My job, here at the Abelard Library, is to get information. And Yves Bonnard's job is to stop me. Yves G. Bonnard, head archivist, aka the Great and Powerful Oz, aka the Grand Inquisitor, aka the Antichrist.
