Panowie, okropne z was drama queens...
A poza tym uważam, że ta historia średnio się zestarzała.

In reading about writing a novel, I have seen examples of what not to use in dialog, but not until The Three Musketeers have I read where someone 'ejaculated' a response. So much so, that the lead character does so on three separate occasions.

That is not why this has a low rating. I am not much for the classic style of writing. I love the classic tales, but I have grown to accustomed to the modern way of speech for the classical style to sound good to me anymore.

Also, to the uninitiated, there is MUCH more to the original tales of the three musketeers than you have ever seen in films, so beware. You start with the familiar, and then get into new territory, which normally is good, but we see the lead character become kind of a tool to his servant.

Overall, I enjoy the story as a whole, but I do not enjoy reading the story, if that makes any sense.

I just decided to continue the digital version, without the audio.
