Come si fa a non amare Dumas? In certi punti mi ha ricordato un altro romanzo storico, contemporaneo a questo e da me adorato, ovvero I promessi sposi: per l'ironia e lo scenario seicentesco.
Lo so che non tocca le vette del Conte di Montecristo, ma è ugualmente un capolavoro di narrazione e di intreccio. Portentoso.

The expository adventures—the hero arriving in Paris, meeting his friends, and achieving his initial successes—are very well written and realized. Clever writing, madcap comedy, etc.

I read the next two or three adventures (up through the completion of the Diamond Studs and into the kidnapping of Constance, and was abruptly all done.

This is a deserved classic, but like Pickwick Papers I couldn’t find any compelling reason to continue reading. The writing is good, where pacing and abruptness makes you laugh aloud, but it lacks some key element of character and purpose that I need to enjoy a book.
