Les trois mousquetaires

Having watched Anime Sanjuushi as a young boy, I've always been fascinated by musketeers and similar stuff. Being French and loving to read, I have read the original novels. Yes: Alexandre Dumas wrote more than one book about D'Artagnan. In order they are:
- Les trois mousquetaires
- Vingt ans après
- Le vicomte de Bragelonne

Actually, I just finished going through them all for the second time... And that's a lot: some 4200 pages in total.

Now this topic is just your general impressions on the novels or, if you haven't read them, questions you may have. I think I'll go open another topic just on the character/plot differences...


I basically have one thing to say about Dumas' novels on D'Artagnan: they're genius.
His way or writing and describing is just beautiful. Every page is a pleasure to read, filled with drama or humour.
The story in itself is great, too. It made me fall in love with historical novels, i.e. stories built around historical facts.

i love dumas' works too... especially the count of monte cristo

i really am interested in the french culture because of what i read

Yes Dumas was a genie... too bad on his days people took advantage on him... he like to help people and sometimes that turn against him... but his mind was full of imagination!
