Ho visto recensioni lamentarsi di alcuni argomenti abbastanza forti, consiglio a proposito di leggere i trigger warning, ma sinceramente il libro va contestualizzato al periodo storico in cui è stato scritto e soprattutto a quello in cui è ambientato. Ovviamente se leggessi di determinati argomenti sul giornale sarei disgustata, ma ripeto, parliamo di un libro dello'800 ambientato nel 600, quindi non si può, e non si deve giudicare un periodo storico con la mentalità di un altro.
Detto questo lettura assolutamente consigliata se si vuole un classico un po' diverso da quelli sempre consigliati. Da recuperare tutti gli altri libri di Dumas padre, perchÊ è un autore brillante.

Having said that, I did thoroughly enjoy the adventure. Dumas has a wonderful narrative style that I found quite modern. The characters are deeply flawed but there is just something fun about them. They are the true embodiment of "swashbuckling."
I grew up loving the 1993 film and was surprised

The Musketeers and their newfound friend who joins the Kingâs Guard are fondly delineated - Dumas clearly loved Athos, Porthos, Aramis, and DâArtagnan. Their word is their bond - they truly believe in death before dishonor. They will always fight for one another.Â
As expected, the callow DâArtagnan goes through the change from unsophisticated rube to gallant Musketeer. The growth that is more illuminating, though, is that Athos goes from a self-destructive drunk to a man with a firm hold on his future. Instead of spending his time and money in foolish pursuits he matures to have a more serious outlook. The scene of him locked in a wine cellar for a week, drinking everything within, is really funny but the Athos at the end of the book wouldnât behave as irresponsibly.Â
Iâve loved these characters for years and and am happy I again chose to go through 800 pages of their adventures.Â

One of the main reasons I've put off reading this book is because I really like the TV show and I was worried that reading the book would somehow spoil my enjoyment of the show. But it didn't at all. In fact, if anything it made me appreciate the show even more because I realised how well they adapted it is and how faithful they interpreted some of the character traits.Â
The book is an action/adventure novel at heart but it's also something of a comedy. And I was surprised by this, I honestly wasn't expecting it to be as funny as it was, but there are some silly and witty moments that I enjoyed a lot.Â
I loved the four main characters, Athos, Porthos, Aramis, and d'Artagnan are some of my all-time favourite characters and I had such a good time reading about their battles, adventures, and just their friendship in general. As much as I disliked her (for things that she does in the novel), I also appreciate how Machiavellian and devious Milady is. She's terrible, but also...what a woman. There was a twist towards the end that doesn't happen in the show and I didn't see it coming at all so I was low-key shocked when it came to pass.Â
On the whole, this was a lot of fun and I had a great time reading it. The audio narration was also pretty good.
Content warnings for violence, murder, blood, alcohol addiction, infidelity, mentions of gambling, period-type sexism.Â
