I bought this classic novel on cd thinking it would hold the interest of my 2 grade school boys, who delight in books on cd while driving to and from school. They did not like the narrator’s snobby french accent nor could they know many of the words. This is a fantastic cd for high school or adults but not children. A bust for us.

I like a lot of the classics, but I just could not get into this one at all. It is just so long winded. It is a bring shame on as the basic storyline is fantastic.

The queen got together with the Cardinal to kill the Duke of Buckingham, D`Artagnan, and Constance Bonacieux. To see if these people live or die, and to find out what happens to the characters in the tale, you have to read the book !!
This book to me was dull. It was filled with some chapters that weren’t necessary that just made the book longer. There were too many characters to remember and too many places to remember. The plot was very hard to know if you didn’t pay VERY close attention. This book might have been amusing and appealing a long time ago, but now it’s just dull and long. I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone else because I don’t reflect this book would appeal to anyone.

I guess I’m not much for swashbucklers. I thought Dumas’ portrayal and treatment of women was pretty shabby. The Musketeers and D’Artagnan had a weird code of values, as far as I am concerned- their attitudes about honor, class, dueling, women, gambling, and so on just don’t make sense to me. I thought they were irresponsible, self-vital jerks. Milady could have been a really fabulous character, but Dumas made her too one-sided out of sheer misogeny. I thought she was the coolest female in the tale anyway.

Dumas’ tale does not age well. The musketeers live in an age when honor, nobility and dignity rules everything– which turns them into absolutely horrific human beings. They treat their servants as property– Porthos even forces his servant to take another, more “adventurous” name. They terrorize the common folk– at one point, Athos destroys an innkeeper’s entire stock of food because he blaims the owner for an unrelated assassination attempt. And they treat women terribly– the main villainess, MiLady, is really only “terrible” because she refuses D’Artagnan’s lustful advances.
The pacing is also about as quick as molasses rolling uphill in winter.
The musketeers are supposed to be a classic of swashbuckling. But when you really read their adventures, you find they’re nothing more than arrogant, murderous sociopaths.
