I didn't like this as well as I liked The Count of Monte Cristo or The Three Musketeers, but it was enjoyable just the same. Rosa is a very sympathetic character, as is Van Baerle, just not quite to the same degree. It was well-written, and a fun, quick read, but not worth being on anyone's list of classics.

Before the NFT and Cryptocurrency craze, there was the black tulip. This book had me hooked and when it comes to Dumas you know it’s going to be a fun read. He has a talent of making the character so loveable and I recommend this book to anyone who wants a chill read with one big plot which reaches a brilliant conclusion
Akıcı, sürükleyici, heyecan uyandıran bir öyküydü. Merak son sayfalara kadar bitmedi.
It has been a long time since I've read a "dear reader" style narrative. I found it annoying. But I did want to know who would get the credit for creating the black tulip. That plus it being a group read kept me reading. At least I'd been forewarned not to look for realism.

I liked this, but definitely not as much as The Count of Monte Cristo.
Dumas actually uses some of the same ideas here as in that other book, but it was nowhere near as gripping. There was a sweet love story, and some intrigue about tulips (who knew tulips could cause so much trouble?!), but, ultimately, it couldn't hold a candle to the story of the Count.
Incidentally, if you are going to tackle this, give it a few chapters. The first few chapters seem a bit random, but it becomes clear why they're there later on.
