Title: More nuanced than I expected
Product review: Thanks primarily to Hollywood, I always thought "The Three Musketeers" was simply an action story with a lot of swordplay and lusty carrying-on. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it had an intriguing plot, that it actually had some basis in history, and that the characters were mostly well crafted, especially that of Milady. I must say that, for me, French Romanticism is an acquired taste and I was turned off by the exagerations that Romantic works put forth. The plot was very intricate and, although it depended on so much coincidence as required by its genre, it all worked well. The test of a book for me is: did I become engrossed in it. The answer for the Three Musketeers is yes, at least most of the time. A worthy read.
