I thought that Queen Margot couldn't be topped. I should have known better.
Honestly, I do not have enough space to fully explain all the ways I adore this book. But I'll try to condense it.
-First, the four main characters. Love, love, love, and more love. Aramis and Porthos - the Merry and Pippin of the group, if you'll excuse the extremely dorkish LOTR cross-reference - made me laugh; D'Artagnan was charming even though (or maybe because) he had multiple moments where, were I in ...more

This is a kick-ass novel, and I am indeed kicking my own ass for not having read it earlier. I'm ashamed to say that I thought it was a children's book. My wife indignantly refuses any responsibility for my mistake... as she points out, it's entirely my fault if I drew the wrong inferences from the fact that her mother read it aloud to her as an eight year old. It turns out, on closer examination of the facts, that Elisabeth's mom must have skipped about a quarter of the text - but I digress. No...more

It's bursting with swordplay, political intrigue, romance, fortunes won and lost, mistresses kept and stolen, poisoned wine, devious nobility, and vengeance sought and attained. What more could a reader ask for? While "The Three Musketeers" isn't the most intellectually challenging book ever written -- though it does offer, in passing, the occasional insight into the human race -- it might be the best guilty-pleasure book of all time. And while it's long for such a book at 650-plus pages, not a word is wasted.

Is there a more intriguing villainess in literature than Milady? A more fascinating hate-him-one-moment, forgive-him-the-next character than Cardinal Richelieu? And that's not to ignore d'Artagnan, who, with a youthful foolhardiness and energy that eventually gives way to gravitas, only the hardest hearted of readers could not love. And while Porthos, Aramis and Athos may spend most of the book as flat characters -- and I'm using that term the same way E.M. Forster does, not as an insult but to distinguish them from multifaceted, "round" characters -- they each have their more complex moments, Athos especially.

I do have one minor complaint about "The Three Musketeers." While the long section detailing Milady's imprisonment by her brother-in-law is a fine story on its own, it does tend to drag on too long in the context of the "The Three Musketeers," mostly because it causes readers to spend too much time away from the Musketeers themselves. And while Milady's corruption of Felton does have its interests, we as readers don't spend enough time with him ahead of it to really feel as bad as we should.

But this is a minor quibble. As should be obvious by my five stars, which I give unreservedly, I really did love the book on the whole. And, on a side note, I like that "The Three Musketeers" concludes with a brief what-happened-to-each-character section, something Dumas did long before the film "Animal House" or Van Halen's "Hot for Teacher" video. (And this, by the way, may mark a rare time Van Halen and Dumas are mentioned in the same sentence. Someone please Google that to make sure.)(less)

There exist in the world authors from previous eras whose characters have become so ubiquitous in the popular culture that they undergo a strange kind of infantalizing. The rather serious philosophical questions Robert Louis Stevenson posed about mind-body duality and evolution are passed over in favor of the monster story of wicked Mr. Hyde. Jonathan Swift’s venomous satires of English life are reduced to the tale of an island of little people and an island of giants.

Well, it was no Count of Monte Cristo, but it was still exciting and dramatic. I was much more into the second half, when it starts focusing on the diabolical Lady de Winter. One disappointment was that I had always envisioned the Three Musketeers to be noble, just, Robin Hood-type characters. It turns out that, though brave, they are quite selfish and immoral, and tend to murder people with little provocation. None of the musketeers was very likable to me.

I really was mad at some of the characters, even though they were in the book. Some of the characters were real. D'Artagnan (the main character) was a real musketeer. Duke Buckingham was a duke of England around the time period. I believe the Cardinal existed as well, but I'm not so sure.

The Three Musketeers

...more
The Three Musketeers

The Three Musketeers was written by Alexandre Dumas. Alexandre was born on June 24th 1802. His first few plays were Henry III and His Court (1829). The Tower of Nesle (1832), Kean (1836), and his Byrone Anthony (first performed in 1831) which were inspired by Lord George Gordon Byron. He was an avid reader of William Shakespeare and Sir Walter Scott whose dramas were immensely popular, being among the first of the Romantic Movement, along with friend and sometimes rival Victor Hugo’s (1802-1885).
They were a major change from the Neoclassic style that had dominated the Parisian stages at the time. He also wrote The Count of Monte Cristo. He soon sought a place of refuge to concentrate on further writings, so he bought a piece of land and built the Chateau de Monte Cristo (nicknamed Chateau d’If) which is now a museum. This was in Port Marly, Yvelines, France. He died December 5th 1870.

I found The Three Musketeers quite an entertaining book. It had a very good tone to it. It was a clever blend of humor and seriousness. I like how he made d’Artagnan a clueless person. This causes d’Artagnan to have little fear, if any at all, when facing opposing people in duels. He faced Bernajoux, who was one of the cardinal’s best men, without knowing that fact. Fear is normally one of the only things that will slow a person down, but if you don’t know what to be afraid of you can’t be afraid of it normally. Alexandre brought the characters alive. He gave Aramis his own peace-loving quality, Athos his silence, and Porthos his boisterous nature.

He might have explained a bit more of the history of the book. H sort of starts in the middle of a story and continues it from there. This left me very confused at the beginning. It was quite comical how the “gentlemen” back then would react to duels. They would insist on fighting even till the finish. Their honor meant so much to them. To be called a coward was a very grave insult. Sometimes the author would lay out a plan from Athos and it would be confusing because you didn’t know what he was talking about. Other times the author would expect you to know something from that time that you do not know, but that is only because the author was writing in his own time.

Despite the novel’s weaknesses, it was a very enjoyable read. I think that this book would definitely fit people who are looking for action. There’s a lot of dueling and it has a very thick plot. It is amazing in how many twists and turns this book can take. In five pages the whole story is sort of explained.

It seems people are often more likely to think one has an ulterior motive for liking or not liking a book rather than looking at the presented arguments. In any case, I would posit this book as the countermand to that sentencing. It is not a literary book, as such, as it does not place itself in a deep referential or metaphorical state. Though it is certainly influenced by many great works, it is, in its whole, no more nor less than the reigning king of the pulp adventures.

Built on the ridiculous, the humorous, the exciting, and deeply in the characters, this work creates a world of romance (in that oh-so-classic sense) and adventure which conscripts the reader and delivers him to the front lines. I am alway amazed by this book's ability to invoke lust, pity, wonder, respect, scorn, and hatred, all while driving along a plot filled with new events and characters.

Should there be any future for Fantasy, it lies not in the hands of Tolkien-copying machines, nor even in Moorecock's 'un-fantasy', but in whatever writer can capture Beowulf, The Aeneid, The Three Musketeers, or The White Company and make a world which is exciting not because everything is magical and strange, but because everything is entirely recognizable, but much stranger. Of course, one may want to avoid going Mervyn Peake's route with this, and take a lesson from the driving plot and carefree frivolity that Dumas Pere and his innumerable ghostwriters adhered to.

It is amusing here to note that Dumas has accredited to his name far more books than he is likely to have ever written. As he was paid for each book with his name on it, he made a sort of 'writing shop' where he would dictate plots, characters, or sometimes just titles to a series of hired writers and let them fill in the details.

So, praises be to Dumas or whichever of his unrecognized hirees wrote such a work.(less)

At long last, Agi and I are reading out loud to one together. It's one of my all time favorites and a close second to The Count of Monte Cristo for full-throttled Dumas fun and mayhem. There are half a dozen duels, several melees and countless intrigues in the first 50 pages alone.

My reason for this is simple, but it touches upon a fundamental attitude toward literature which is complex.

The introduction to the edition I read asserted several perceived weaknesses of Dumas: flat and two-dimensional characters, dialogue which at times stretches credulity, and a failure to plumb any great depths of philosophy. I shall add one of my own: the protagonists are at times difficult to root for, because the culture of today would frown upon the collateral damage and willingness to inflict bodily harm over the slightest grievance. (Case in point: there is one scene in which a sword duel is engaged over a comment that would, in today's language, equate to "you suck at tennis.)

These are fair criticisms which yet did not detract from the overall reading experience.

The characters, while two dimensional in many respects, were also quite entertaining. I will also say that, while no character seems to undergo a fundamental shift of self all of the principals are developed through backstory and do adapt to new situations. D'Artagnan learns and matures. Athos resolves buried issues from his past. Aramis finally reaches an important life decision. The villains are devious and sufficiently canny to appear a threat but not to appear supernatural. One or two villains become allies and vice versa. So, while the characters are who they are throughout, those identities are interesting ones.

Speaking to the dialogue, I found that its exaggerated style encased a certain charm. Of course people don't have conversations in such a formal style all the time. But does the dialogue have to be believable to be good? It is, after all, fiction. For that matter, am I even remotely a fair judge of what is "believable" dialogue for 17th century France? But I digress. Apart from unbelievable, what the dialogue was was witty and engaging. It's flowery but in a way that entertains without overpowering.

Skipping ahead to my own criticism, I found that it wasn't difficult to embrace a bit of cultural relativism and understand that, say, stealing an inkeeper's wine supply is completely acceptable behavior for a musketeer in 1628. Clearly society's moral compass is more defined today thanks to centuries of additional understanding, but that is not a failing of the literary work.

Finally I come to the key issue for me. It is certainly true that The Three Musketeers did not deliver unto me some greater understanding of humanity, nor inspire in me hours of ruminations on the unknown. Yet I don't see this as a "weakness" in the way that many literary critics seem to. For me, a work of fiction can achieve greatness without blazing new ground in human understanding and without nine or ten levels of symbolic layering. I could go on, but I would assume that captures the basic idea here. How a novel can reach the literary pinnacle without these things is by simply being an entertaining story and well told. The Three Musketeers is such a book.

Yes, my simple reason for loving this book is that it is an entertaining, well-paced story with vibrant scenes and clever prose. For me, sometimes that is quite enough. In particular the final 20 chapters or so delivered (with the exception of a few chapters in which the POV switches to Milady).

I highly recommend this book to everyone from the snobbiest of bookish elitists to the irritated 12-year-old on a book report deadline. Its pace holds true today, and while long it is by no means a difficult read.(less)
