This book is level 2 reader and adventure story.
The sence is laid in 17th century France. Louis XIV was the King of France. Aramis, the Bishop of Vanners, thought that Louis is a bad king, so he tried to make Philippe who was in a prison the king. During a plot of Aramis, Louis knew that he and Philippe were twins. Louis was angry about his plot and pursed Aramis to kill him. In fact, Aramis was not killed but his friends were killed during the fight. Finally, Louis got Philippe out from prison, but he ordered Philippe to cover his face with an iron mask all the time.
I sympathized with philippe because he could live a normal life if he didn't be born as a twin of Louis XIV. If it hadn't been for monarchy, tragedy would not have happened.

Narumi,
Nice review. It was good to learn about this story. It sounds like an interesting, but complicated tale. It was a good idea to post the image of the mask. It gives everyone an idea about how tough life was for Philippe. Good work.
