      This is more Twenty Years After than Three Musketeers. As it's only the first part of a long novel it's hard to judge whether the varied events will be drawn into anything resembling a coherent plot (which Twenty Years lacked) or if we will find any over riding themes. It's interested in money and social status. It's highly readable and when you're sitting down and reading it the pages just fly over but I didn't feel the urge to read that I perhaps would have done if there were a little more intellectual and emotional content. There are some funny moments and the chapter 'Throes' is a little comic masterpiece. The introduction contains spoilers, as do the notes, though in their case they are not as bad as in the previous volume. I wonder if Mr Coward received complaints
    • 4/5
      I was a bit surprised to have the book end as I still had several CDs of the audiobook to go! This discrepancy is annoying but understandable as both the book and the audiobook are just the first part of the book Dumas originally wrote as the final novel of the d'Artagnan trilogy called The Vicomte de Bragelonne: Ten Years Later. This last book was so enormous (over 1000 pages) that it is almost always divided into 3, 4 or even 5 separate volumes. I am reading the Project Gutenberg Kindle editions which are using the 4 volume division (although there was a nice little note showing where the book would have ended in a 5 volume split!). I thought that the audiobook I was listening to was also from a 4 volume split but perhaps it was from a 3 volume split instead. I found sections of this volume very interesting and/or exciting (such as the parts about General Monk) but some of it was rather too long-winded (even for me!). Despite the title, the main character of this is our friend d'Artagnan. Porthos and Aramis don't appear until quite close to the end (Chapter 70 or so), which was a bit disappointing. Athos was present for much of the story although he and d'Artagnan were working at cross purposes for a while. As in the previous book, [Twenty Years After], the four friends are not in close contact as the book opens & sadly are once again split in their loyalties, although this time it is d'Artagnan and Athos on the side of Charles II & Louis XIV versus Porthos and Aramis on the side of Fouquet. In Twenty Years After, d'Artagnan and Porthos eventually do come together with Athos and Aramis on the side of Charles I against Mazarin. I hope the 4 come together in the next book!

      1203. The Vicomte de Bragelonne, by Alexandre Duman (22 Dec 1972) This is the third volume of the D'Artagnan cycle by Dumas. It is laid in 1660, and covers the restoration of Charles II to the throne of England, the death of Mazarin, and the beginnings of the intrigues where Aramis and Porthos are leagued with Fouquet against the King and d'Artagnan. There are two more volumes in the cycle: Louise de la Valliere (which I did not read till 17 Mar 1974) and The Man in the Iron Mask (which I did not read till 16 Feb 1975). This volume has 92 chapters and I did not find it as good or as exhilarating as Twenty Years After, the preceding volume in the cycle, which I had finished 25 Nov 1972.
    • 4/5
      Dumas' third volume of about the four musketeers is usually split into three parts, of which this is the first. The swashbuckling of the first two books is significantly reduced; the story is now one about political intrigue.
    • 4/5
      Whilst D'Artagnan and Athos embroil themselves in the restoration of the English monarchy, Aramis and Porthos have their own secrets to keep, and Raoul is becoming well-known at court. Not as action-packed as the preceding Musketeers books but it sets up some intriguing plot lines for the next two volumes.
