And... here, come and have a drink, Maurice. Let's get sozzled, let's move motions, and study political economics. But for the love of Jupiter, don't let's be in love, let's love only liberty.

And then it seems to me you really are in love, and I've always had the greatest respect for terrible misfortune. (Lorin)

I read this book many years ago (probably 10 years ago) and loved it. I might be a bit biased since I love Alexandre Dumas' novels, but this one still lingers in my mind even after all these years. Truth be told I don't remember much about the plot, only that I found it entertaining and that I liked very much the character of Lorin (so much that all the quotations I wrote down are from him).

I ABSOLUTELY ADORED THIS BOOK!

During the summer, I did not have much to do so I spent the majority of it sitting around and doing nothing until I remembered that I had this book in my room!

I read the first pages and did not think much of it until I made it halfway and fell in love with the plot and the storytelling. The dynamic between Louis and Maurice is one most people wish for and Louis was so funny throughout the book. I loved his digs at Simon oh my god.

Maurice is genuinely a good character. He's respectful and I wish I could take off a point for his borderline obsessive love for someone that didn't really care for him (he's a sad simp) but my love for this masterpiece of a work stops me from doing so.

Alexandre Dumas has done it again and rescued me from a reading slump! This was absolutely incredible, a wild ride from start to finish, and the ending left me stunned. I can’t believe this isn’t talked about more—I’m not sure what has relegated it to the bottom of the stack with Dumas. This was a great deal of fun and also thought provoking. Revolutionary Paris, Marie Antoinette, swashbuckling scenes! It was everything that I love.
