The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas
3.0

But, but, there were four musketeers! I enjoyed this book, took me a little while to get into it but the plot picked up quickly. The characters were all interesting - even though the three (well, four) musketeers are the heroes of the piece, they are by no means perfect and do some downright horrible things from time to time. The main villains of the piece are also intriguing characters.

There's some amazing scenes in this book, such as the nonchalant breakfast of the musketeers whilst under considerable fire from an invading army.

Don't write this one off as a children's book - it's not. Plenty of drinking, sex, and poisons involved. All in all, a pretty good adventure story and worth reading.
