I'm surprised that d'Artagnan and his three friends in so many people eyes are heroes and "good" guys. Because they are not. Author has made cruelty, crime and sinful deeds OK if its done by "inseparable" friends and cloaked it in heroism and gallantry.

I had a lot what-the-heck moments. Almost every chapter.

The book is full of "Duma's occasional lapses of memory"
However the story is interesting and the book is a true page turner. ...more

My thoughts on this book run all over the place. I loved the humor. I didn't like some of the inevitable slow sections. Every long book has those sections where you want to just put it down.

It is a marvelous book, and I can't even articulate why, but I'm so clearly head over heels in love with it that reason has ceased to matter. ...more

Intriknya bagus, sayang kisah-kisah cintanya gak banget. Dan sayangnya lagi pertarungan musketri kurang digambarkan.
Sampai akhir, masih tidak paham alasan penting dan mendesak apa yang membuat musketri memusuhi kardinal.
