Another boring work from Monsieur Dumas after The Three Musketeers.

Okay okay, not that boring. Perhaps I'm not accustomed in reading "royal conversations" or whatever high level language used by Dumas, but I find it really dull. It was a struggle for me to finish that book, with more than 350 pages. I can read Victor Hugo's 1000-pages (at least) Les Miserables, but this book? There's just too many descriptions and the dialogues made me kinda dizzy.

Why I do not give only one stars in this review is because the characters are very strong. Who could forget Athos' nobility, Aramis' vast resources/talents, Porthos' loyalty and last but not least, D'Artagnan's heroism? The beginning and the middle part of the book make you sleepy, but not the ending. Hence, the three stars :D

One more thing, the movie (with Leonardo di Caprio) really sucked. Those Hollywood morons always manage to destroy literatures.
