Oh! Oh! The drama! The action! Did I mention the drama? This last installment really delivers, especially having read the entire series back-to-back. I bit my nails, laughed out loud and actually cried (at least twice). Seriously, these books should be made into a Game of Thrones-like series, six seasons at least. It would be glorious. Mordioux, these were six entertaining months! I'm going to miss these guys!
I found this novel desperately boring. In all fairness I should have read the books that are meant to come first, first.
A bit of a let down based on the insane quality of the series as a whole. It's also interesting that the movie and the book had such an incredibly different ending/story. Anyway, good read, but also sad. Amazing series overall.
This book is a total drag and is the epitome of why people hate to read "the classics." It is shocking how little actually happens over the span of so many pages. Do yourself a favour and read the Three Musketeers instead.
It took me quite a while to make it all the way through this book, but I'm so glad I did. I almost gave up on it in the beginning (I'm so bad at making it through historical political jargon, especially while being bombarded with new characters at every turn) but I finally made it to the sass and the drama that (in my opinion) classic novels do best.
I wasn't prepared for the character deaths, so be warned--if you get as attached as I did, it's gonna hurt.

This is the final third of the larger novel "The Vicomte de Bragelonne" which in itself is the third book in The Musketeers Trilogy. As many people seem to read this one on its own, I thought I'd add my thoughts on that. Basically, don't do it. The "man in the iron mask" subplot is a very minor one and probably not at all what you would expect based on the movies. While this is a good book if you have read the rest of the series, you will probably find it very lacking if you haven't. If you want a good stand-alone Dumas book, I would recommend the first book in this series "The Three Musketeers", the unabridged version of "The Count of Monte Cristo", or "Memoirs of a Physician".

How on earth was the movie not only better but made more sense. Apart from that a fun read
Why do we hear so much from Athos and Raul but never again Philippe, the books namesake?? Never got to any sort of point.
