ragne 's review for:
Louise de La Vallière
by Alexandre Dumas
Slow going, this book. So much of it could have beed omitted. Dumas spends alot of pages describing the scenery in a very flourishing way, and the love-scenes are often way too long. Also, he often spends several pages on a conversation, which should only have to consist of a couple of sentences. What is said, is said several times.
For some reason, Porthos seems to get bigger and more stupid for each book. He's now a sort of parody of what I thought of him in "The Three Musketeers".
In this (free Kindle-edition, there are some irritating spelling mistakes. There are also many sentences ending whith a preposition, and I find myself reconstructing them so they fit the style and age of the book.
Anyway, I am now embarking on the next book, "The Man in the Iron Mask", which I hope is a more interesting read.
