this classic is so silly & high drama. i loved it. so glad i chose it as a random library pick
I'm a Dumas fan, but this story wasn't that great, nor were the characters. They were kind of stupid, and it was hard to empathise when the topic was a flower, the love of which consumed the protagonist. I kept wondering if perhaps it was an allegory and I just wasn't getting it. Eventually Dumas made a decent mystery out of it, kind of.... I'm so glad this was a short book though.
3,5 stars rounded up to 4.
I liked the general plot of the story and the pacing a lot but the author’s way of telling the story with forcing his opinions in some parts bothered me a bit. Still a very good classical love story.

Amazing characters, intriguing storyline, unique writing style and surprisingly a fast paced classic!

Really well written and incredibly tense, this was a great introduction to Dumas’ work and writing style! I really loved the setting and historical theme and despite the ending not seeming 100% realistic, I enjoyed it a lot nevertheless…

Scelta singolare quella di Dumas: lascia da parte gli intrecci appassionanti che hanno reso indimenticabili le sue opere in favore di una vicenda ordinaria, direi quasi banale.
Senza una trama avvincente cosa resta? Un libricino scorrevole e un po' piatto, in cui l'ambientazione originale fa da contraltare a dei protagonisti bidimensionali: manca la grandiosità di un Dantes o la spavalderia di un D'Artagnan, dobbiamo accontentarci del borghesuccio Cornelio dal pollice verde. Niente di brutto o di stonato nell'opera, semplicemente tutto troppo prevedibile e poco entusiasmante.
Non c'è molto da dire su questo romanzo, che si lascia leggere ma non coinvolge mai davvero. Consigliato solo agli amanti dei fiori e ai fan sfegatati di Dumas.
