Summary: Historical political drama at its best
Comment: Three Musketeers by Dumas has got to be one of my favorite books ever written.
I decided to read it after seeing the recent movie adaptation. For anyone who liked the movie-
read the book-it's a hundred times better! The plot twists are more involved,
the characters are allowed to develop properly, the humor is more subtle. Everything
about the book is great. I can't remember when I've enjoyed reading a
book more than when I read Three Musketeers. I highly recommend this book
to anyone who enjoys classic literature, historical fiction, French novels, or
just a great story about how good can win over the forces of
evil.

Summary: Exciting But Repetitive
Comment: This is an exciting book that unfortunately feels formulamatic at times. Maybe that is because it was produced as a serialized novel originally. It can have that "find out what our heros are up to next issue" feel.
Overall it is fast paced, but long. I liked the action sequences and the author's creation of distinct personalities for his heros. While I had to read this over a long period of time, I found I enjoyed it most when I could put in a couple of hours at a time and fully submerge myself in the author's world. I would recommend picking this up for a vacation book or if you know you'll be able to keep at it night after night.
The author uses a convincing historical and period backdrop for his tale. It feels real which aids the story. The romantic nature of his heros leads to a wonderful story of comradship and loyalty, good versus evil, etc. Many things to like, but I did not find it deserves quite as lofty a pedestal as most of these other reviewers do.

Summary: Instant Classic
Comment: The Three Muskateers is a fantastic novel about friendship, loyalty, and honor. It has its dry spots, but is definitely worth reading. It gives a background of Spain in the 18th century, and is filled with both excitement and humor. This book is definitely worth reading.
