Title: unless you're a dumas fan
Review: I admit I've only read this book and 'the three musketeers', none of the others in between. I'm usually a big fan of so-called classics. I didn't like the three musketeers much, but I hated this. After TTM I wouldn't really have been pushed to read any more Dumas, but I saw two film versions and wondered how they could be so different. Now I see that it's because TMITIM doesn't really deal with the king and his brother at all. Just another story about those musketeers. And it really is such a good idea. I usually never recommend this, but watch one of the films (I love the oldest one) instead of reading the book. Maybe if I had read it a little slower, I might have found it more easy to read, but I was eager to get to the end and find out what happened to Philippe and Louis, and was very disappointed when they weren't mentioned.
