The Three Musketeers Audiobook

" Fun, fairly quick read, with the exception of the seemingly endless (and uninterrupted) description of Milady's captivity in England. Pardieu, I can see why most movies skip that segment. The antiquated, gentlemanly language was refreshing. "

" A riotous, absurd (it could never be written now), and entirely readable romantic adventure. As a serialized adventure of its time, it has its 'modern' flaws, but only a bitter soul would dislike this book for 'technical' reasons. The Count of Monte Cristo is always going to be my favorite Dumas (what a man!) book, but I look forward to reading the rest of the D'Artagnan adventures. "

" Read it in a day, couldn't put it down "

" Life your life to the fullest and damn the consequences. those are for after, those ore fo love and for love to answer for honor. "

" My favorite book ever. Nothing else to be said. "

" I became a little disappointed sitting with so well-known classic and finding it so vague. Although all the happenings, intrigues and characters are various, the way they were described seem to be superficial and run out of emotions. I don't know if it's just my version of translation or there's really lack of descriptions, but this drawback was constantly discouraging me from lecture. "

" Forget the movies the book is really something to get excited about. "

" Audiobook. A bit of a slow start but I ended up rather enjoying it. Humorous and adventurous. I was surprised at how people were killed willy-nilly throughout the story. :) "

" I found that book long winded and boring. The films and cartoons are much more entertaining than the original story. I'm still happy I read it. "

" The female villain in this book is a great one. I loved all the characters, and I loved the plot. It is different than The Count of Monte Cristo. Both are wonderful, but The Three Musketeers is more action-packed, from cover to cover, while The Count of Monte Cristo has more down time. I look forward to reading the rest of the books in this series. "

" I have to admit that despite its length, it was a very good story! Great plot, characters, and action!! A little disappointed with the ending though and I'm not fond of Dumas' portrayals of women as monsters or damsels in distress. "

" I have thoroughly enjoyed everything I have read by Dumas thus far. His imagination is never ending and his humor is quick and witty. Nothing a movie can ever compare to! "

" I know it is a classic. that is the only way i could force myself to finish it instead of throwing it down. "

" I had always thought that The Three Musketeers is actually a book for children! I was totally wrong. This novel is as grand as Dumas' other number: Monte Cristo, except the fact that The Three Musketeers based more on reality and history of English-French relations and intrigues within it. "

" I found that book long winded and boring. The films and cartoons are much more entertaining than the original story. I'm still happy I read it. "

" Very good novel. Much different that what I have been accustomed to with regards to the three musketeers "

" Written by a man, for other men. Adequately describes how men think. If I could forget about the immorality and affairs going on, I could enjoy it. "

" An intriguing look at extramarital affairs in seventeenth-century France. "

" Who knew this was a farce? I've never been the biggest fan of comedy writing. Also, the women are not flattering at all. They're either simple fools or completely evil. "

" One of my old time favorites.. I come back to it now and then ... "

" more swashbuckling and idealistic gallantry... but i liked monte cristo better "

" Read this as a teen and really enjoyed it. "

" We've all seen countless movies about them but until you read The Three Musketeers you haven't really touched the surface. Milady De Winter must be the greatest villianess of all time. One of literature's greatest classics. Read this forty odd years ago, yet it still remains fresh in my mind. "

" I dont know why I even bother reading anything written after the 1800s. "

" Great plot and lovable/hatable characters. Worth the effort to read so much! "

" I hoped it would be much better. "

" The story line was not amazing, and neither was the pacing. The story dragged in many places and the plot was pretty predictable. The saving grave of this book was the characters, the three musketeers and d'Artagnan, their characters and their actions were amusing and added life to an otherwise dull book. "

" This is one of my most favorite books of all time. "

" I liked it. It was something i've always heard about and i've seen a few of the movies. Way better than the movies. The question now is do I want to read the whole series. "

" Did not quite enjoy this as much as "Man in the Iron Mask" as there were far too many pages devoted to one character where the musketeers were completely absent. Book always picked up when any one of them was the focus. But still really enjoyed it. "

" I found that book long winded and boring. The films and cartoons are much more entertaining than the original story. I'm still happy I read it. "

" Great plot and lovable/hatable characters. Worth the effort to read so much! "

" Classic swashbuckling adventure. And French. For fans of honor, swordplay, wordplay, and bravado. Is it the Belle Epoque in book form? No. But it is timeless fun. "

" I was delighted to find that the novel (the full version) had a far broader plot that any movie could try duplicate. And I enjoyed that - even if the action was somewhat swallowed by the broader politics. "

" I enjoyed this as they were young and could do about anything! "

" Great book! Wish I had read it years ago! "

" I love this book. It is a great feast of adventure and fun. "

" I love the camaraderie and loyalty between D'Artagnan and the Inseparables. This is one of my favorite stories and Dumas is a master of historical fiction "

" Also read this in high school and loved it! "

" What a great story of friendship and loyalty. "

" Now that I have finally read this book, I think I understand France a bit better. "

" A great book. It reminded me of a James Bond movie, but better. Tons of violence, sex and one-liners - with zero mercy for the villain. "

" For a good chunk of this novel I was left wanting. It seemed to lack much of the power that was the Count of Monte Cristo. BUT... the novel from the imprisonment of Milady to the conclusion was quite brilliant. Onward D'Artagnan! "

" Ehhhh I barely made it through this one. It was far too long and it honestly bored me. The abridged version is much better. But I was sick when I read it so give me some credit for trying while I had the flu. "

" Some parts were good, other parts I thought were boring. "

" Very good story, or rather two stories involving the same characters. I found it satirical in its humor and great in its intrigue and adventure. Definitely the textbook definition of a swashbuckling adventure story. "

" One of my favourites, so exciting and fast-paced despite many re-readings. Definitely recommended even if you're not one for the "classics", it's very accessible and has you hooked right to the very end. "

" Classic swashbuckling adventure. And French. For fans of honor, swordplay, wordplay, and bravado. Is it the Belle Epoque in book form? No. But it is timeless fun. "

" more swashbuckling and idealistic gallantry... but i liked monte cristo better "

" Excellent characters. A classic to read. "

" A great story, and more action-packed than the page-count would lead to believe; not the usual puffy over-inflated nineteenth century tome, this. "

" Wonderful, classic action by Dumas. Read this many years ago but it is one that holds up extremely well. Also, enjoyed The Black Tulip by Dumas, not as well known, with the black tulip only one object of love/desire in the book. "

" The unabridged version is about 30 volumes, but this rollicking tale of intrigue in the court of 17th century France is worth it! No movie has ever caught the flair of the books! "

" It took me quite a while to, but was worth it in the end. "

" This is my favorite book in the universe. Maybe someday that will change, but it's not likely. I love this book. It's got action, romance, drama.... all you can ask for in a book and more. "

" Read a highly abridged version years ago (in high school) and enjoyed it. Decided to give a longer version a try and enjoyed it even more! "

" Loved it. Very surprised on how the story grabbed me. I had no idea this book would be such a good read. I was so impressed with Dumas and his style of writing, planning to read all his novels. "

" It is a great mix of romance, adventure and fights! A classic worth reading! "

" So. Much. FUN. SO MUCH FUN. "

" This book is one of my top 5 favorites. Granted, I've only read it once, and that was in 2002. Honestly, I'm always nervous to re-read books I've loved for fear they won't live up to my memories. "

" The book was a lot of fun. Enjoyed it more than I thought I would. "

" I read this book when I was very young but the dedication and loyalty of the heroes are still fresh in my memory. A great book I would like to read again! "

" I found that book long winded and boring. The films and cartoons are much more entertaining than the original story. I'm still happy I read it. "

" I want to marry Athos! That beautiful alcoholic nobleman. This book was flawless. "

" Dumas is awesome and so is this book, it is a must read story of great adventure and I can't help but love the french hero of Dumas' era "

" One of my favorite books. I can't give it a five, which I am not stingy with, but it always brings out my fantasy swashbuckling side. "

" Alexandre Dumas is 2 for 2 with me. Such a good writer even in translation. "

" Maybe i'm crazy, but I love this book. "

" The first half of the book was okay, the characters very much enjoyed dueling and killing their rivals, personally, not really my thing. The second half of the book was great. I loved (to hate) Lady de Winter. So, pretty good book, on average. "

" Life your life to the fullest and damn the consequences. those are for after, those ore fo love and for love to answer for honor. "

" Classic story ... My school days fab.. "

" Dumas takes you on a whirlwind of adventure as he follows leading man D'Artagnan into duel after duel! There were very fun surprises, some I was disappointed by, but overall an entertaining bedtime read :) "

" It is actually about four Musketeers.... "

" Didn't like it quite as much as "The Count of Monte Cristo." It's a good story, but all the swashbuckling was a bit much at times for me. "

" A fun tale about friendship, loyalty, honour and courage. "

" la loca de milady es lo mejor ajajja "

" Another excellent adventure penned by Dumas. Full of sword-fights, romance, and intrigue, enmities becoming friendships and trust solidifying in heated moments of battle. This is a fabulous story. "

" I dont know why I even bother reading anything written after the 1800s. "

" One of my all time favs :) "

" I would enjoy his books alot more if he would have left out all of the 'romance'. "

" All for one and one for all. High adventure and displays of courage here. "

" One of my all time favorite books "

" Not a difficult read. Good pace but you must suspend a little modern morality. "

" Written in the old way with lots of side stories that drag on a bit but overall I enjoyed the book "

" Didn't like it quite as much as "The Count of Monte Cristo." It's a good story, but all the swashbuckling was a bit much at times for me. "

" Long, but fun, in parts. "

" Everything in this novel is royal. "

" Loved it...started the next in the series "

" An absolutely swash-buckling adventure yarn full of bravado and pathos and intrique. Just a good fun read! "

" A must read when you're into your teens. Incredibly well-paced, great characters, what else is there to say? "

" I tried listening to this book an Audio and I got through to the 5th or 6th CD and I STILL wasn't into it. I really feel that I gave it the benefit of the doubt but I think I'll stick to the old school movie on this one! "

" I never realized that this book was historical fiction at the time it was written, but it makes a lot of sense. Adventure, romance, swashbuckling, etc. I didn't like it as much as the Count of Monte Cristo, but it was still fun, despite some awkward class and gender issues. "

" la loca de milady es lo mejor ajajja "

" He could've used a better editor. "

" A book packed with sword fights and revenge! "

" Took me too long to read- I just couldn't stay with it like The Count of Monte Cristo. It was written as a newspaper serial, and I think that was part of the problem- a tad repetitive, and more detail on some things than necessary. "

" This was my first book by Dumas and how I learned to appreciate tragic love (Athos) and power of lasting friendship. We can all relate to the desire to belong. Perhaps even more so than finding 'a person' (romantic love) we crave belonging and friendship (non-romantic love). This is a great book. "

" Good! Some parts were slow and difficult to get through, though. "

" This was actually pretty good, but REALLY, REALLY wordy... I would recommend the abridged version "

" One of my favorite books. "

" This is an amazing adventure drama novel, perhaps the first of its kind. It's hard to describe how compelling it is. "

" You think &quot;old&quot; means &quot;boring&quot;? You think seeing the movie means the book holds no surprises? Think again, <em>mes amis</em>! Adventures don't get any more exciting than this. Get ready to lose some sleep, because you won't want to put this book down. "

" Good read. Not gonna lie...I read this after watching Slumdog Millionaire. "

" I last read this over 20 years ago and decided to revisit it. The pomposity of the language still results in giggles. It still holds up as one of the classic romantic adventures. "

" I read this book on my eBook reader because it was free, and I was amazed at how the book could pull me in and keep my attention throughout. The action was intense and the romance and political maneuverings were interesting. "

" I think I will get on a kick to re-read some old classics. I am going to start with some of the Alexander Dumas works, move to Les Miserables, and maybe even pick up the Russians (Tolstoy, Dostoevsky) again if I feel feisty enough. "

" In addition to a great story, the novel has subtlely complex characters, both fascinating and realistic. The heroes have vices and the villains have virtues. I enjoyed this novel even more than The Count of Monte Cristo. "

" **Actually I didn't finhish this book.... I just stopped reading it because it was geting boring.... "

" Excellent classic. Nothing like the corny ass movies. More action, sex, drinking, fighting, and the characters are extremely flawed individuals. Love this book. "

" Read 170 pgs. Didnt love it ... The boys squabble with swords to the death as if they are using toy swords ... couldnt get into it. "

" Great read! The story is so much more than what's been depicted in films. Now on to the rest of this series... "

" A- Very interesting - at times, I lost the plot b/c I wasn't paying attn enough, but super good, captivating read. Why wasn't it called the Four Muskateers, why is our hero kept out of it? Love, war, smarts, battle, life. Great stuff. "
