I have SO MANY mixed feelings about this book ! It was a rare reading I was for the first half of the book bored about it bUT WANTED to read more and for the other half just bored as hell,,,, the end (last 50 pages) is REALLY good and maybe someday I'll read the second one. As someone who hasn't seen the movies it was a full discovery and I recommend the book to the people who stand more for the characters than a full plot :)

La Marquise Des Ombres, ou, La Vie De Marie Madeleine D'aubray, Marquise De Brinvilliers by Catherine Hermary-Vieille

informative slow-paced

Ma déception personnelle, le livre commence avec une histoire prenante et des personnages complets et mystérieux jusqu'à la page 200 a peu près ou tout devient terriblement ennuyeux et que l'évolution des personnages est invisible, j'ai pu sauter des centaines de pages sans que ça me gène dans la lecture... Si vous aimez les biographies lisez-le mais si non, abstenez-vous !!
