veronian 's review for:

The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas
4.0
adventurous inspiring lighthearted fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

For the Richard Pevear translation:
Chapters in Milady's POV: 5*, top tier literature villain

Chapter about Porthos at the worst dinner in all of France: 4*

Chapters about everyone else being charmingly unrepentant hotheaded assholes: 3*

For the Great Illustrated Classics version I read in growing up: I was rereading this in parallel and it's a much better adaptation than I would have expected for kids - also 4 to 5*
