Simply the best classic author I’ve ever read. His flow is much easier to read then other classic authors like James F. Cooper. This story has multiple protagonists that you love and loathe for different reasons. d’Artnen for example is brave and chivalrous but any girl he sees he falls in love with no matter how vile the creature may be *cough* cough* Milady, or should I say Anne de Breuil. Milady just might be one of the best antagonists that has ever been written in classical literature. Bravo Monsieur Dumas!

Intrigue! Adventure! Love, Honor, Duels! What more can you want? Definitely a new favourite for my shelf.
Absolutely brilliant, every character is interesting and unique, morally grey, and often times loveable and charming. I got to say, Milady was kind of justified after what d'Artagnan did, only she should have taken revenge solely on him.
A little baffling: Everyone (on the level of the musketeers) is just sort of... okay with infidelity? Also strange, how Athos immediately is like "yep, let's kill her" right after seeing the fleur-de-lis. Really, no second thoughts? That man is crazy.

Having read several classics, this is the most anachronistic (and absurd) thing I ever read in terms of character's behaviour. I could not feel with them at all, while they made stupid decision after stupid decision. I don't feel there is any character evelopment, just a few revelations and honers. I honestly just wanted to made it through.
The narrator was quite good though, but read me to sleep often because the story was so boring. Nothing has put me to sleep that well since trying to listen to the bible.

Surprisingly funny, but it was very slow going at the beginning.

As a reader of contemporary fiction who's journeying into the classics for what is really his first time, it's quite a different sort of beast altogether.
A strong theme and plot driver of this book seems to be both infidelity and loyalty at the same time. And despite the fame surrounding the musketeers, I have to say, the villainess Milady De Winter appears to be both a villain and a heroine in a way depending on how you look at it.
Would recommend reading just to see where someone's point of view of the whole plot will fall.

I am so glad that I got to experience the wonder that was the Three Musketeers; however, it feels like the plot developed too late for me.
