A review by ragne
The Man In The Iron Mask by Alexandre Dumas, Raymond H. Harris, Brendan Lynch
4.0
Oh, how I cried!
It is strange, becaus there was quite a lot I didn't like about this series, but still, I cried. Maybe I'm just getting soppy in my old age.
I'm not sure why this book is called "The Man in the Iron Mask", because he is barely in the story at all. He has a rather small appearance, then is never heard about again. I had thought he would be one of the main characters.
I am also not sure why the books before spent so much time describing the romance between the king and la Valliere, or why it has mentioned so many things not really nessecary for the story at all. The series could have been simply "The Three Musketeers", and a little longer version of "The Man in the Iron Mask", and still have told everything. To tell the truth, I was often getting tired of the story, because it took so long to get to the point. Still, I am glad I read them all. I just wouldn't recommend them to everyone.
