Alexandre Dumas è un autore senza tempo! Riesce a mescolare storia, intrighi, ironia, amore, passione, amicizia, umorismo e a raccontare con un ritmo vivace le imprese di intrepidi eroi, che affrontano duelli, battaglie, fughe, evasioni, cavalcate. É uno dei miei romanzi preferiti infatti l'ho letteralmente divorato!
I personaggi sono iconici e immortali ognuno con una personalità diversa per non parlare di Richelieu e Milady dei magnifici antagonisti.
Mi ha commosso l'amicizia tra i tre moschettieri e D'Artagnan, che si sostengono e si proteggono in ogni situazione, sempre pronti a gridare il loro motto: "Tutti per uno, uno per tutti!" Un libro avvincente e divertente, che consiglio a tutti gli amanti dell'avventura e della letteratura classica.

This annotated version is quite nice. It's amazing when you read how simple the original account was and how brilliantly Dumas expanded that into this novel.

4.0

3.5 stars, rounding up. There were any things I loved about this book. Many great lines, some solid and fun wit, charismatic characters, DRAMA, but ultimately I felt let down by the overarching plot. Especially after reading The Count of Monte Cristo earlier this year, this book just felt so much less mature. It was a great deal of fun with so much ridiculous drama, but not as stellar as CoMC to me.

The book is justifiably a classic. A gripping tale that sped by more rapidly than I would have expected. And it's amazing both how true to the story the various movies were and how much they softened the story as well. If you have not read this and enjoy the swashbuckling then you must read it. Now.

I actually listened to the audiobook read by Simon Vance. An excellent reader. He was able not only to give proper pacing and emotion to the tale but managed the dozen and a half or so characters, even the minor ones, with distinct voices and personalities. A masterful job!

Di D'Artagnan avevo un vago ricordo (molto vago), derivante dalla serie a cartoni animati. Il libro è stato una lettura piacevole, dove la realtà storica (Luigi XIII, Richelieu, l'assedio de La Rochelle) si mescola agli intrighi e alle avventure e disavventure dei quattro moschettieri. Uno per tutti, tutti per uno.

Este é um livro de aventuras, heroísmos e uma grande amizade.
Personagens com características muito únicas.
A intriga é fantástica, rica de nuances.
Não sabia o impacto do papel da Milady nesta história.

I have to admit, after reading The Count of Monte Cristo, this story comes as more juvenile and underwhelming. But I see it as a great entrance into the Dumas' writings. If I was younger, I'd probably be more into the story. The action truly never stops. Characters are very colourful and distinctive. And it is somewhat refreshing seeing a woman as a main antagonist. However, it does leave wanting more of a development.
