Pros: not just one story, but many little stories woven together Cons: a bit long
After having watched the movie by the same name, I was prompted to pick up this classic and actually read it. I also hunted around a bit for the background on the novel. Dumas was known more during his time for writing plays than novels. The ...
Pros: Great heroes, Story, Prose style Cons: Get a complete edition, the abridged cuts things out and doesn't explain motives
The Three Musketeers, by Alexandre Dumas (1844) This is one of the books that is rightly considered a classic. Alexandre Dumas (1802 - 1870) was a prolific writer who produced about 300 volumes of work during his lifetime. He would easily be ...
Pros: Rousing adventure, subtle satire, fun reading. Cons: I honestly can't think of any.
I was a little hesitant to post this review of The Three Musketeers on Epinions, simply because there are 10 other reviews, several of which are excellent. However, I do have what I think is a unique approach, so I decided to go ahead. ...
Pros: Great adventure story Cons: Some actions treated too lightly
Who hasn't heard about the Three Musketeers (even if there is really four) and their famous motto, "All for one, and one for all"? It's as much a part of our culture as apple pie and "Mikey likes it." However, until this past...
Pros: excellent story and writing Cons: the book ends!
I first read "The Three Musketeers" when I was 14 years old, during summer vacation from school. I immediately fell in love with the romance of the book and must have read it four or five more times before the summer ended. This has to be my...
Pros: reads easily, a lot of adventure Cons: a little long if you are not used to it
First Impressions
I absolutely loved this book! In fact, I started reading other Dumas book after it. I fell in love! :)
The style is light and vocabulary still understandable today.
Pros: Glorious story, intriguing plot. A must read! Cons: None, a masterpiece.
This classic tale of Athos, Porthos, Aramis, and, of course, d'Artagnan, has been the best "cloak and dagger" novel since 1844. With sword fights, long chases, beautiful women, lust, love and a few deaths this novel packs more fight and...
Pros: lots of fighting :) Cons: lots of fighting :(
This is an altogether excting and attention keeping book. No movie could ever capture what Dumas wrote down. From page one to page last the story just keeps on coming. There are no slow parts.
Pros: 1) Well written
2) Fun and engaging Cons: 1) Some might be turned off by a "classic"
I must say that when I picked up a copy of The Three Musketeers my hopes were fairly low. After all, I loved Jane Austen, but so many "classics" simply fell flat (aka anything by the Bronte sisters). I'd loved the cheesy Disney movie when I was four ...
Pros: great story characters and pretty much everything Cons: long and confusing for some
I first read this book in eighth grade for an assignment. The book was great I read it again and got my teacher to let me read it for a big project. This was the first time a project of this size was this easy. This book just is so good. I would...
I read the Dumas novel concurrently in French and in English, in a desperate attempt to polish my education in the language and make it fun at the same time. The tale takes place in France during the reign of King Louis XIII, and centers of course on...
Pros: seamless plot...the nefarious Milady Cons: the apparent end of Milady
If ever there is a novel to pinpoint as the precursor of the modern day action thriller, it is Dumas' "The Three Musketeers". Set in France at the start of the seventeenth century, it spans some 600 pages of gripping storytelling by a master at work,...
The Three Musketeers by Alexander Dumas is a timeless classic. The battle cry of the three musketeers rings aloud in this fantastic tale of adventure and romance. Join the young cadet, D'Artagnan, who teams up with the three musketeers-Athos, Porthos,...
What a waste of time! The focus of the main characters is twofold: girls and killing. The book has no redeeming qualities that I could find. The king is portrayed as inept, spending most of his time trying to prevent the Cardinal from seducing the ...
