Just finished The Three Musketeers. Wow. Like Dumas' other novel The Count of Monte Cristo, The Three Musketeers is one extremely entertaining novel. I very much enjoyed the plot. Lots of swordplay and adventure from start to finish and there was never a dull moment. I loved all the characters, even the evil femme fatale, Milady de Winter.

The first part of the story is cheerful in a sense and comedic, however, the tone of the novel in the second part and towards the end changes completely and becomes very dark and gloomy. Nevertheless, and as I stated, it was a very captivating read. If anyone's looking for a great adventure novel, I heartily recommend The Three Musketeers.


Edited to add: Thank you to all who recommended this marvellous novel to me!
