The book was very fun! I'm excited about the rest of the series now. I didn't know if it got better or worse. <br /><br />Trish - I grew up watching that version of the movie all the time! It had Charlie Sheen and Kiefer Sutherland and Oliver Platt too, I haven't seen it in years and years.

With Chris O'Donnell? :)Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-75545640635110009942013-07-18T04:11:29.905-04:002013-07-18T04:11:29.905-04:00True, among Dumas' I can't find anything a...True, among Dumas' I can't find anything as amazing as Monte Cristo when it comes to the depth and complexity of the matter. For me, reading the D'Artagnan Series is more like having fun than having deep contemplation. <br /><br />Still, I love Athos. In Twenty Years After, we will see him at his best (I think). Despite his grimness and moodiness, he is a great commander, a brave musketeer, and a wonderful swordsman. He's like D'Artagnan's another father.
