Fun swashbuckling, too long, boring politics, shame about all the rape.

When I decided to read this I was a little afraid I wouldn't get through it (a classic and over 500 pages) but once I started I couldn't put it down. It was a very good time with an interesting plot and characters (Milady de Winter is a very memorable female villian). Next the Count of Monte Cristo!
All of the movie adaptations of this spend so much time on swashbuckling but greatly neglect how often these incompetent oafs cannot independently manage their money or dinner plans.

You know how, when you’re a kid, you love the Three Musketeers movie? It’s full of action and adventure and you want to be a musketeer too!
Then when you’re an adult, you read the book and realize Milady de Winter was horribly abused and assaulted and it’s no wonder she’s hell bent on destroying every man she comes in contact with.
Like Count of Monte Cristo, it’s a great book with the story and quality of writing. The subject manner and views held by the men are troublesome, I know it was written well over 170 years ago, and then set some 200+ years before that even and things were different then (ie: even more horrible than now for anyone not in a position of power), so it is what it is.
