The Three Musketeers
By Alexandre Dumas
This week I have finally finished listening to The Three Musketeers on audiobook. I checked out the audiobook from the library, and for the first time ever, I had to get it renewed because the three weeks wasn't long enough to finish listening to this book in my car. I had the hardest time staying focused on listening to the book, and that sort of broke my heart because I have always loved the story of the musketeers. The 1993 film adaptation, which starts Chris O'Donnell, Kiefer Sutherland, Charlie Sheen, Tim Curry and Oliver Platt was and always will be my favorite version. Of course, the film adaptation from the 1970’s with Michael York and Geraldine Chaplin is great as well, but the early nineties one is the one for me. When I was younger, a good friend of mine took me to the ballet version of the three musketeers, and as a dancer of fifteen years, I loved it!
Long story short, I still love the story but I might have bitten off more than I could chew with this one. I would definitely recommend reading the book, just remember that it will take some time and energy to get through it.
I need to add it to my list. I read "The Man in the Iron Mask", which I suppose is the sequel. Probably need to revisit that one also, since it was in high school when I read it.
