Madame Tussaud, by Michelle Moran


I was a history major in college and took classes in the French Revolution so I was predisposed to liking this book.  And it did not disappoint.  This period of history is so, so fascinating because it was so crazily out of control and it really didn't happen that long ago.  A whole country basically just went nuts and it is fascinating to read about the different sides and the many ways popular thinking twisted and turned.
