I just finished this today. It took me a while to get into it, too, but I ended up enjoying it. I haven't read much about the French Revolution since high school, so it was interesting reading about those events. In my ongoing quest to declutter, I was going through a box of stuff that I've been holding onto for years - all the way back to the 8th grade - and I found the souvenir pamphlet that I got at Madame Tussaud's in London back in 1986. There were pictures of some of the models that were mentioned in the books.
