Highly entertaining, enjoyed it more than I expected. Duels all around and some larger-than-life characters. Milady is particularly compelling but sadly suffers from misogynistic tropes, which I guess would have been fairly "normal" in the 1840s.

I definitely won't read the unabridged again. It's good, but gets tedious. The longer it goes the more it seems like a long play.

The story of Milady is definitely with the times. Her tragic back story was dealt with like she was always a villain instead of, she became this way bc of the men around her.

I also didnt realize that Constance dies. I thought it was a happy ending??? None of the women get one.

It would be a 5⭐️, but not this version.

The narrator is very good.

Este libro lo leí por que es de Alejandro Dumas y por que vi la película de "La Máscara de Hierro", ésta hace alusión sobre d'Artagnan y los 3 mosqueteros obvio el libro es mejor. Aventura, amor, diversión, amistad, lealtad, etc. Es lo que deja este gran libro.

"Todos para uno y uno para todos"

“El amor es la más egoísta de todas las pasiones”

“No me aferro a la vida lo suficiente como para temer a la muerte”

"Sé amable, apunta a mi corazón"
