an adventure story with many twists

i dont care what other may have stated, i think the readers did a great job! i usually avoid books where each chapter is read by a different person, but this one turned out good. a few short chapters had noise in the background or mispronounced words - but the readers are not being paid or in a contest for accuracy. overall read with good emphasis, volume, and pausing. the story is adventurous from the beginning. and just when you think they have got away from a foe - or trapped them - things change! its not a book of morals, the 1600s did have men who ran around with married women or tried to make "many conquests". gambling was an accepted past time. and drinking alcohol as your only beverage was normal. so while we may at first think of this as a kids story, the content is clearly PG13. i think adults, male and female, will love this book.

Magnificent!

I read this book in Russian at 12. And I very much enjoyed the English version. Such language delighted my ear immensely. While driving for long hours, this book colored my days and gave joy to my feelings. I definitely would recommend this book to anyone. And for this free gift of enjoyment some small inconveniences in pronunciation won't matter to those who can appreciate it. MERCI BEAUCOUP!

a good classic

Not the best of the classics I have listened to on here (Dracula, Frankenstein, count of monte cristo, etc.) but nonetheless, very good. One reader throughout would've been preferable, but I think all of the readers did a fine job. None had an accent or cadence that I couldn't understand / follow. Well done and thank you for taking the time to record!

quite the eye opener

thank you LibriVox for the experience I had never had the chance to read The Three Musketeers and having now have a chance to listen to it I see how very very different it was from the Disney interpretation this was very well done and with so many chapters having different readers actually helped break it up

An enjoyable book. Alexandre Dumas knows how to keep the reader interested to read on. A great thanks to the readers who contributed to the task. Although some words were mispronounced, it didn't lessen the joy of listening to the book.

A bit unwholesome, but fantastic story!

The only reason I have not given this recording five stars is it doesn’t send the MOST wholesome message ever made. A little suggestive, and a fair bit of drinking. Oh, and meaningless killing. But otherwise, great story! Alexandre Dumas is an amazing writer (though I’m sure he’s not Catholic), and the readers did an exceptional job. I enjoyed every minute. I love the character of d’Artagnan, he’s the perfect chivalrous gentleman. It’s just delightful. I think Kitty’s love for him is sweet, and perfectly understandable. Summary: loved it. Seriously, listen to this.

A wonderful tale!!

A classic that escaped me my entire life. My wife read it when she was twelve and, after 35 years, still remembered all four names of our heros!! This was our first audio book with multiple readers. Our favorites were the gentleman from South Carolina and the young lady who sang her parts like an Angel!! Thanks to all for a memorable experience! Lana and Roger M.

Timeless Classic

Love this book! Narrators change almost every chapter but each person does a nice job while reading the text. I enjoyed it.
