Editor reviews
Of course you've heard of the three famous swordsmen, but did you know that the novel is really funny, as well as replete with romance and adventure? John Lee does, and his narration plays up all three attributes to great effect. For those who need a reminder, Dumas's classic adventure presents the escapades of three of King Louis's musketeers, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, plus D'Artagnan (a musketeer in training) as they foil a few of Cardinal Richelieu's many devious plots. Amid much swordplay, they actually utter the famous line: "All for one and one for all." Lee struggles a bit with accents and characterizations early in the production. His hesitations disappear after a few chapters, however, and he gives fine voice to the rest of the madcap tale.

Unlikable characters
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I'm glad I finished it, I was curious enough to know how it ended to finish it. But the muskateers are really rather unlikable characters, nothing much like their on screen counterparts, they're snobs, fight over the smallest insult, sleep with richer, older women to get their money, and are generally quick to kill and fickle. Not really what I was expecting...

A bit dull
Assuming you’re listening to this on a smart device, I would recommend speeding this up - was a lot better at 1.5x, whereas it seemed to go on and on at regular speed. I loved John Lee’s reading of the Count of Monte Cristo, however he didn’t seem to be a good fit for this particular book. Did feel differently towards this sped up however, which is what I recommend.

A classic tale, superbly told!
The Three Musketeers is a classic romp with vivid descriptions and loveable characters. John Lee's narration, though a bit ponderous at times (slightly speeding up the playback setting helped) is excellent, creating each character with skill and subtlety.

Great Romp
Having seen the films I did not know what to expect. There are so many twists and turns in the emotions of the book and the story. This reading really bought out the humour.
The reading was brilliant I soon became absorbed into the story. The narrator was extremely good and after a while I was unaware of the narrator's voice and only heard the characters.
I recommend this book

A classic
Well narrated classic with an adventurous story, although I preferred the Count of Monte Cristo.
