The Three Musketeers (Wordsworth Classics)
Alexandre Dumas père
Wordsworth Editions Ltd
, 1997
A Pleasant Surprise
The only reason I picked up the book was because it was one of "those" books in the school library. You wanted to read it for the points, but everybody who picked it up gaze up and put it back down. *I* even tried to read it once and gave up. But I'm always up for a ...
The Count of Monte Cristo (Penguin Classics)
Alexandre Dumas père
Penguin Classics
, 2003
Pretty much the coolest book ever
This is one of my favorite books ever written. Forget the deeply philosophical books that all the intellectuals like to pretend to enjoy. This is a great, exciting, fun read that has just enough psychology and spirituality to add to the flavor and keep the character ...
Laughing Without an Accent: Adventures of an Iranian American, at Home and Abroad
Firoozeh Dumas
Villard
, 2008
A Wonderful Read
I don't remember the last time I read a book that made me laugh out loud. As I read this book, I laughed often as I recognized myself and my family within the pages. In this collection of essays, Dumas describes her experiences while growing up in Iran and her ...
The Count of Monte Cristo (Signet Classics)
Alexandre Dumas
Signet Classics
, 2005
Difficult to read but well worth it.
How does one review a classic? Especially one so noteworthy as to have demanded the creation of 11 or more film variations, numerous adaptations, and even television series? I long avoided reading this novel due mainly to it's daunting size, and the fear that it's ...

Firoozeh Dumas
Random House Trade Paperbacks

Funny, perceptive, perfect touch
I truly enjoyed this collection of stories, all written with a keen, perceptive eye, a humorous take on life, and a facility with words. I look forward to reading Laughing without an Accent. Kazem, I hope that you read this review and are even prouder of your ...
Duma Key: A Novel
Stephen King
Scribner
, 2008
Best King Book In Years!
Stephen King once said that his works were the literary equivilent of "a Big Mac and fries". I could not disagree more. In the long run, I think Mr. King will be considered one of the more important writers of our time. He is a master at suspense, character ...
The Club Dumas
Arturo Perez-Reverte
Harvest Books

You need to know your Dumas
Usually when I view a movie (in this case The Nine Gates), if I see it is based on a book, I read the book. As usual, don't expect the book to be the same as the movie, although it comes close in some areas. The book was far better and was more "gripping". However, ...

Only book I found helpful
I took family medicine in the 5th block of third year, having done everything but surgery already and tried to read other books but found them cumbersome and redundant for what I already knew. I picked up this book in the last week before the NBME and loved it, it ...

In her expressionistic drawings and paintings of the last three decades, acclaimed South African artist Marlene Dumas has focused on the human figure, probing themes of love, desire, despair and confusion in order to slyly critique social and political attitudes toward women, children, people of color and others who have historically been ...
The Three Musketeers (Signet Classics)
Alexandre Dumas père
Signet Classics
, 2006
"Meung, a pretty market town on the Loire..."
In the very midst of the last Harry Potter being published, I picked up this title from my library, mainly because of the attractive cover and easy-to-read design and typeface. I also wanted to see what a great classic felt like. I was highly rewarded. Certainly this ...
The Vicomte de Bragelonne (Oxford World's Classics)
Alexandre Dumas père
Oxford University Press, USA
, 1998
Focus of the Story Changes
If you are reading this review, you have probably already read the Three Musketeers and Twenty Years After. You are wondering if it is worth it to continue with the series. If you decide to go on, you have three more 600+ page novels ahead of you. That is a lot of ...
The Man in the Iron Mask (Oxford World's Classics)
Alexandre Dumas père
Oxford University Press, USA
, 1998
No One Can Write a More Thrilling Story than Dumas
Having just spent the last few months reading all five books in the Three Musketeer series, the following are my suggestions. 1. Read all five books in order. The Man in the Iron Mask is probably enjoyable on its own but reading the four books that proceed it help ...

Duma Key: A Novel
Stephen King
Scribner
, 2008
Wonderful book
I've got to say - King has developed into one of the most consistently good reads out there. He is beyond the "Bright eyed ingénue" phase and he knows it - and is concentrating on turning out one great read after another. One thing I am very impressed with (And I am ...

Book II in the trilogy, less of the Musketeers and more palace intrigue and romance
It's 1661 and Louis the XIV is taking over the reign of government from his ministers. D'Artagnan is captain of the Musketeers, Aramis is now a bishop, Porthos is as big, strong and hungry as ever and Raoul, the son of Athos, is still madly in love with Louise De La ...
