The Man in the Iron Mask (Oxford World's Classics)

by Alexandre Dumas

Alexandre Dumas was already a best-selling novelist when he wrote this historical romance, combining (as he claimed) the two essentials of life--"l'action et l'amour." The Man in the Iron Mask concludes the epic adventures of the three Muskateers, as Athos, Porthos, Aramis, and their friend D'Artagnan, once invincible, meet their destinies. (read review)

Didn’t Like It

“I was highly disappointed in this book. It was simply an excuse for Dumas to kill off the Musketters. The plot went nowhere. It was just a long and boring story. Nothing happened until the end chapters. The movie is much better.”

    “I really didn't like this book at all. I remember loving Three Musketeers, but this one was just one huge disappointment. I felt like there was no plot. No character development. I am actually annoyed at myself for finishing it. I should've just quit because it didn't get any better.”
