Resumen del Editor

This historical romance, perhaps the greatest cloak-and-sword story ever written, relates the adventures of four fictional swashbuckling heroes who loyally served the French kings Louis XIII and Louis XIV.

When the dashing young D'Artagnon arrives in Paris from Gascony, he becomes embroiled in three duels with the Three Musketeers: Athos, Porthos, and Aramis. But when he proves himself by fighting not against, but with, the Three Musketeers, they form a quick and lasting friendship. The daring escapades of the four pit them against a master of intrigue, Cardinal Richelieu, and the quintessential wicked woman, Lady de Winter.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"His plots are...rich in characters and adventures." ( Biographical Dictionary of Literary Influences)

One of the best adventure stories ever!

This book is one of my all time favorites. The reader was incredible! I can't wait to hear the sequels!

Classic adventure story

Though some of the passages can get long and tedious at times, overall I enjoyed the book. All the characters in this tale - so well known from movies, are unique and memorable, which the narrator Simon Vance brilliantly brings to life.

Mostly Fun

Was good fun till about two thirds of the way through the second book. At that point the author seemed to force the ending.

Wow!

Fabulous in every way! I cancelled appointments in order to keep listening. A hundred times better than expected.

Three Musketeers + Simon Vance = superb audiobook

A most excellent book about d’Artagnan’s adventures with Athos, Porthos and Aramis, foiling Cardinal Richlieu’s plan to embarrass the Queen of France and the Duke of Buckingham due to his wounded ego. Milady de Winter is a consummate villainess – she must be a sociopath. I also read a children’s version to the kids to great success (even wrote my own kiddie cliff notes) and we are going to celebrate by eating a period French meal and watch the movie. Fabulous read that I would re-read again and again! I am on to the other d’Artagnan romances now!

Awesome!

I am still listening to this book, but it is absolutely awesome! I have already read The Count of Monte Cristo, and have tried to pickup this book a few times but never found time to finish reading it. Audiobook is the way to go, and Simon Vance does a great job with this reading. The main characters are all distinctly different and entertaining.

Great Listen/Read!

Never a full moment

An interesting and thrilling story paired with a most enjoyable performance! I loved every minute!

Great story

This is the second time I've listened to this book. The intricate storyline is captivating. The narrator does an excellent job communicating each character with his voice inflections. If you like old books with lots of adventure and intrigue listen to this one.

Great story!

I understand now why this is a classic. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The narration is excellent.

All for One

If you are a fan of Dumas (I am) this classic novel and the narration of the audiobook will leave nothing to be desired: great characters fully realized, an exciting storyline and a real education on 18th century France.
