Executive Summary: This book just isn't for me I guess.
Audiobook: John Lee is great. I've enjoyed him for several Sci-Fi books. He's probably the main thing that kept me going. If I was reading this instead of listening, I'm not sure I would have made it to the end.
Full Review
I've seen several adaptations of this book in movie or TV form. I recall enjoying those. Maybe I'm wrong? I thought this would be a fun break from SFF books.
Boy was I wrong. There is probably a decent story in here, it's just bogged down by lots of boring dialogue, unlikeable characters and awful pacing.
I found d'Artagnan and the musketeers downright despicable much of the time. They think of themselves as noble, all while aspiring to seduce other men's wives and spend their money. Milady and the Cardinal both felt cartoonish as villains.
I've honestly already spent more time on this book than I'd like, so I'm going to end my review here. Needless to say, this book just wasn't for me.
