"This was a fantastic book! So great to have been written in the 1840's and still be swashbuckling fun with four men who are best-friends. Dumas does a great job of articulating friendship and the joy that friends can bring you! A definite recommendation." — Alicen (5 out of 5 stars)

" A good book with our favorite characters. Nice twist and hostorical facts. "
" Maybe I was too young to understand the setting and all, but I can hardly remember it. "
" The conclusion of the three musketeers, great book but there are too many diversions from the story line. "
" A great finish to the D'Artagnan series - definitely enjoyed it. Ending wasn't what I wanted though, you could tell he was just trying to permanently end the series. It could easily be having seen the movie made me want more drama. "
" Not as good as the first one in the series - the three musketeers. This one is just plain depressing and while I guess it's an epic end to an epic trilogy (haven't read the second one), I guess I didn't want to see things all turn to custard like they do in real life. Plus the fall of Aramis was a bit of a downer. I prefer to leave those beloved characters at their triumphant hour at the end of the first book. Sometimes it's not so good when art imitates life. "
" I would have given this four and a half stars if possible, because it is really good, but not quite as enjoyable as its prequels. For a fuller review, see the Three Musketeers. "
" Another favorite. I just love reading stories from this time period. "
" Should have read the book prior to seeing the movie years ago. Liked the movie better. "
" I loved the set up and first few chapters, but then it became a travel log of heroisms for the musketeers. I would have done so much more with the story. Alas, Dumas, what an undeveloped plot! "
" More depressing than the others. "
" Loved The Three Musketeers so I read this afterwards. Was still a good book but not quite as captivating. "
" A meleancholy ending to a spectacular series. "
" I love Alexander Dumas! This was great! "
" another piece of work produced by dumas that is absolutely awesome, but I think the 3 muskateers and The Count of Monte Cristo are better "
" I loved the movie so hopefully the book is better than the movie. "
" very valuable book for me about good old days when men were dying for their king, honour and friends to deserve their respect and social status. "
" Can't believe how faith can be so unfair.. "
" One of the first adult books I read, after Ivanhoe. I loved it of course. "
" Convoluted dense writing, overwrought political intrigues, bitterness and hopelessness. The machinations of power wins out over good and integrity as the politically shrewd stave off death the longest. "
" First of all it should be titled "Musketeer's Demise". Second to be fair I have not read "The Three Musketeers" so I had trouble keeping all of the characters many, many names straight. I like Dumas, but come on - this felt like the highlight of a longer work - which is just what it is. "
" I read this as a young teen. There is a scene, involving a cave, that has stuck with me ever since. For me, that scene is what elevates this story over the earlier Three Musketeers. "
" I loved it until the end. The romantic in me despises unhappy endings. Sigh. "
" For once, I can actually say that the movie was better than the book. "
" Very good. I enjoy the way it is written--lots of glorious words to make a small point. Only do not be deceived by a: the title or b: the Leo DiCaprio film. It will only confuse you by the end. "
" Wonderful but very sad at the end "
" Dumas is good at the type of books he writes. Count of Monte Cristo being his best. This one is good, but not amazing. Its long and dramatic. "
" Not much "derring-do" as said in the book preview, but still a nice classic. A good read. "
