This is the classic adventure story of three musketeers who are joined by a younger member, D'Artagnan. Rollicking fun, high jinks, and amorous forays all go into the grand plot to foul up political machinations.
Yes, unfortunately there were parts of the book where I got lost and picked up the Cliffs Notes to ascertain what the hell was going on. LOL. My only complaint is that next time I know *not to read the summary in the beginning*-- totally gives away the entire novel. Ooops. Otherwise, I actually looked at the bibliography and inter-library loaned two books on Alexandre Dumas! So interested to read more about him and how he constructed the novel. Yes yes. Until then...
