jingx555 's review for:
The Three Musketeers
by Alexandre Dumas
This is probably the one single book that I've read and re-read for the most times! (I've also read Twenty Years After quite a few times and adored it, although the last one in the trilogy is rather not to my liking)
Being one of the first books that I've read and loved, it was THE book that cultivated my love of story and literature, of the adventures of a different kind. Being now a very different, and much more developed person than the kid who first opened an abridged version of this fiction ten or twenty years ago, at the beginning of this re-read, there was a moment when I was worried that this book would not hold up for me, that it was all a nostalgia -- for it was a novel from a different time, of a time which is so much different from ours. But what a journey, what an experience! Not surprisingly, I do remember from time to time that I used to have different feeling, or simpler readings regarding some passages or descriptions, which, however, does not extinguish the pleasure of reading this wonderful tale at all. Reading this book still very much excites joy and wonder in me, as well as sorrow and terror. And I love every bit of it. I almost felt sad at the last chapter, that this journey of these characters of friends whom I adore so much, had to come to an end.
There are so much I can say about this book, so much I can say about what I love about it and why I love it.
More than ten years later, this still holds as one of my favorite book of all time, ever.
