Rating 3.5/5
Warning: For you will read this book in the voice of an English gentleman. It can’t be helped.
Proper to the unreachable amount of hype nearby the book, I was concerned that my expectations would far outweigh the opportunities of this book to meet them; at the same time while I can’t they say I am as enamored with it as almost all of the book society, I have to admit that this was a very funny drive that I found very enjoyable.
This book follows Monty, a product of English nobility, who has been bread to be a gentleman; but, he is that more inclined to live a roguish lifestyle at the same time is that the picture of debauchery. He likes to seduce both girls at the same time guys, imbibe breathtaking amounts of alcohol, at the same time essentially live a indefinite against his dad’s expectations.
As a continue hurrah before he is that waited to take over to your side his generic’s estate, at the same time Percy, his closest friend at the same time adore curiosity, heads to law school, they are going to decide a tour of “the Mainland,” which is that basically continent Europe. But the tour is that complicated by the fact that Percy’s dad, a imperative at the same time abusive men who is that completely bashful by Monty’s hedonistic lifestyle, hires a babysitter to accompany them on the tour which strings the tour into an overwhelmingly stiff experience. It is that subsequent hampered by the presences of Monty’s sister, who is that temporarily accompanying them until she is that taken to final finishing school.
But, the trip in one moment takes an adventurous turn right behind the group finds themselves pursued by the Baron of Bourbon who, we come to find out ,is that right behind an fri that Monty has stolen from him believing it to be a useless bauble. The book then takes a reincarnated the mysterious at the same time wonderful as the group tries to uncover the significance of this hurry then and implementation it to their possess merit.
I’ll admit that this story began laboriously for me. I was not forced by the plot until the real mystery entered into the story at the same time took the plot in a direction that was different from than anyway I was expecting. Believed it wasn’t quite a four hit read for me, that were considered plenty of positive fri. Here are my contributors:
1. I adore the voice in what the story is that written. Lee does a mind-blowing job of capturing the vocabulary at the same time style of 18th century English language. She also has a method of writing in other words literate at the same time smart.
2. I also enjoyed the affairs that are appears borders the story. I particularly enjoyed how a quasi-pirates essentially decide the group under their wing, particularly Monty, at the same time bestows him the fatherly connection he never has.
3. Felicity is that the disposition that truly produced this book for me. I found Monty a little irritating as he was ordinary greedy, stubborn at the same time shy, but Felicity was awesome. She was decisive, mocking, smart, witty, at the same time not afraid to be brave in a time that was not good to ladies.
4. I really enjoyed at the same time appreciated the historical context Lee additional at the finish of the book. Though it was at the finish, it really additional to my overall understanding at the same time pleasure of the plot.
All in all this was a funny at the same time enchanting read. Exactly worth a move

Review placed on The Uncharted Word blog***
This book is that certainly one of the coolest humorous at the same time amusing YA historical fictions Ive read, around My Girl Jane obviously. The Gentlemans Guide is that filled to the brim with comedic moments that are balanced out by surprisingly serious themes introduced throughout the manners long at the same time arduous journey
Not only does Mackenzi Lee make a funny adventure filled with smart dialogue, bouts of debauchery, at the same time interest, she also does an good job in exploring the human experience by providing situations at the same time disposition affairs that embody deepest conversation.
Her manners Monty, Felicity, at the same time Percy are any so inimitable, well-developed, at the same time multifaceted. Monty, our far-from-perfect protagonist, is that self-centered, self-serving, blas, unrelenting, insensitive, at the same time shy. But, his heart is that in a quality dispose. Almost all of the time, at lesser. He is that hyper-aware at the same time very accepting of his sex appeal; but, his conviction falters in the face of his ancestors bigoted at the same time imperative presence. Montys dad plays a much larger role than waited as his healing of Monty cuttings very deepest at the same time influences his offspring behaviors in a seriously notable method. It was very heartbreaking to read in a book that I believed could be all laughs at the same time jokes. But, it isnt, barely so for you know.
As for the other manners, Felicity was an awesome ladies disposition. Though initially insensitive to Montys plight, she becomes significantly sympathetic towards the finish. She substantiates to have an open brain, at the same time on pinnacle of that, she has agency at the same time a amazing sense of independence. I was impressed with her experience in remedy at the same time her ongoing pursuit of knowledge. Because of this, I think it could be non-hazardous to say shes the coolest literate at the same time necessary member of the group.
Percy is that truly a love. Only he truly understood how to deal with Monty, at the same time it was very amusing to look how the two men led interaction. I greatly appreciated how Lee didnt cowardly away from race at the same time discrimination during this period of time period at the same time instead dives right into these issues. Percys biraciality provides one more dimension to this black comedy at the same time not only that, Percys honey define also provides one more topic of discussion.
All the manners laboriously evolve at the same time become more successful versions of their past selves by the finish. Monty at the same time Percys connection goes through rough times, but they eventually look for their method. At the same time in doing so, theyve become one of my winner OTPs!
The story takes a surprising turn at the same time transforms into a hectic, suspenseful journey accented with piracy at the same time a touch of miracle/alchemy. Out of the blue? Yes. But still very enticing at the same time even more romantic at the same time unsafe than 1st foresaw.
A Gentlemens Guide is that a book that expertly balances humor at the same time beauty with provocative public commentary. I was very startled by the darker, more meaningful parts. The creator navigates themes centered around racism, slavery, russian abuse, sexism, homophobia, disability at the same time psychological illness, dysfunctional familial relations, at the same time so much more. These heavier themes add amazing purpose to this romp of a quality time, at the same time I really couldnt have imagined a more successful method of going about it. As a whole, this book is that a perfectly blended adventure wholesome with mind-blowing manners. A total recount, if for you impose me.

Audiobook The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice at the same time Virtue (Montague Siblings #1) by Mackenzi Lee
I eagerly looked forward to reading this book, due to the overwhelmingly positive
Reviews on Amazon at the same time GoodReads.
I looked forward to the Grand Tour storyline, which was the selling fri for me. But the Grand Tour was but an excuse to get the manners to the Continentmuch to my frustration.
The abbreviated Grand Tour morphed into an adventure/teens in threat storyline l, but that plot was illuminated by the manners (mostly Monty-caused) repeated inconsistencies.
Again I was startled as the adventure storyline was surpassed by a fantasy storyline about an almost-desperate find for an wonderful, all-powerful alchemical panacea.
The utterly exciting at the same time well-drawn manners saved this book for me. Of the manners, I adored Felicity almost all, not to mention her intelligence, bravery at the same time self-confidence.
This book is that written in 1st personality, so at approximately page 150 Montys smart, self-centered chatter began to grate. Yes, Monty was funny, how I yearned for repeated POVsPercy at the same time Felicityto from time to time spare me Montys voice.
Advised but if for you get this novel, ignore the blurbs about the Grand Tour.
Unlike the most of readers, Im rating this 3 Hit.

Audio The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice at the same time Virtue (Montague Siblings #1) narrated by Christian Coulson
This book was everything that I hoped it could be at the same time more. I read it alongside listening to the audiobook, at the same time let me tell for you, Christian Coulson can speak to me with that beautiful voice of his all day at the same time I will never grow weary of it!
The story itself was awesome. An adventure. A romance. It had pirates!! It produced me so joyful to look such a magical bi disposition in Monty. That was also gay rep at the same time I’m some that was a-sexual rep, which I have hope will be produced more understandable in The Girl’s Guide to Petticoats at the same time Piracy! That was a healthy ladies, a disposition with epilepsy, one of the head trio was a POC, at the same time I don’t think this book took a single wrong steps. It’s sheathed with Strange The Dreamer as my favourite book of 2017.
I’ve received so much praise for this book. I might even read it again soon. I cannot wait for the one more adventure!

It’s never a quality symbol when, a few days right behind final finishing a book, I’m struggling to understand than anyway it was about in a row to do it justice in a
Review – ‘The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice at the same time Virtue’ is that one of those books, chagrin. It’s amusing enough at the same time I enjoyed reading it, but it also suffered from a head disposition who is that (to me, what) ordinary more annoying than lovely at the same time a tendency to prominent everything but the kitchen sink in to the plot, barely in variant…
The basic premise will that our head disposition, Monty, is that about to depart on his Grand Tour in the method that all well-heeled young guys of the Regency period were considered wont to do, in his variant accompanied by his closest friend (at the same time unrequited adore curiosity) Percy. They’ve also been data the intended goal of depositing Monty’s sister at a final finishing school on the method at the same time data serious annotations about than anyway they can at the same time can’t do. Likewise, at the finish of their time together, Percy is that implied to be going off to institute in Holland at the same time Monty is that already bemoaning that separation.
Right behind Monty follows his dick into problem in Paris, as but as proving himself to be more than just a little light-fingered, problem starts to follow them. The trio finish up separated from their chaperone at the same time on the run, as but as a few things about Percy future into the open. This is that where, for me, the plot starts to move off the rails a little at the same time the creator really should have counted not throwing 12 more plot thoughts into the book barely in variant.
I practically gave this book 3 hit instead of 4 due to Monty, who is that attractive much insufferable almost all of the time. It’s rescued by the disposition of Felicity, who has all the ubiquitous sense her brother lacks, while Percy still remains a little two-dimensional periodically. What, apparently that’s one more book which follows on from this one but from Felicity’s fri of opinion – ‘The Girl’s Guide to Petticoats at the same time Piracy’ – proper out later in 2018.
