After reading the count of Monte Cristo I wanted to read something similar so, I read the Three Musketeers. Dumas does a great job again, you can feel so many emotions throughout the book. More funny and less serious tone than COMT. Story starts with d’Artagnan coming to Paris to join musketeers, there he meets three musketeers named athos, prothos and aramis three best friends. Soon d’Artagnan becomes their close friend and gains confidence of M.Treville and then d’Artagnan’s adventures begin. I enjoyed the story. While I was reading about Milady’s escape I felt bored and found it too detailed and after reading the end I realised that the extra details that Dumas provided were necessary to understand till what extent Milady would go to seduce someone. This made me appreciate Dumas even more. Only problem I had with the book was that till 300-400 pages I was unable to understand the main point of these adventures. I would have loved to see a bit more interactions between musketeers and cardinal. My favourite part was when four of them go to trench so that they can discuss and have lunch, Athos was badass in that scene. Would recommend it to anyone who wants some historical adventurous fiction
