Fantastic!!!

I absolutely loved the book and the performance, I can't recommend this enough! There was so much humor in it too, I never realized!

Awesome!!!

Feels like I’m there along side the warriors! Can’t wait for another one please let us know!

Had me hooked from the start!!

Loved it! The performances were great. You are truly entertained from beginning to end. If you do not like books read as a play/performance then this isn't for you.

Great acting! Great story !

Marvelous from head to toe. The voice acting is so immersive. Truly a perfect cast

Great read wish they would do more like this

Loved the dramatization. You should absolutely listen great fun version of the story. Voice actors really embody the story

Very fun and fast paced!

Highly entertaining story of swashbuckling and adventure! Voice acting is top notch and the writing is perfect.

amazing performance

the enthusiasm and expressiveness of the actors brings this classic to life. worth the listen

Outstanding!!!!

I wish all of the books about the musketeers could be preformed like this. The acting and the story were wonderful.

The performance was what kept it going

I have not read the original like many of the reviewer‘s so I can’t really say but they seem to be trying very hard to update it and I’m assuming that some of those jokes are more modern but some of them must be in it. There’s a lot of humor and a lot of sex and drinking. And of course a plethora of fighting over mostly nothing.

And I think the ideas at the time were probably pretty sexist so they seem to be doing their best to at least allow you to think more about these things but they do make references to women being the original evil and women should know their place and a smart woman is always seductress and woman who has made a mistake is always evil, And then in the end the big deal is killing a woman which isn’t even really thought about the morality of her accusation or of her life’s difficulties or what she says or how she got there but more just upsetting because it was a woman, a frail defenseless non man, as opposed to the 40 men we’ve seen killed up until this point who die with as much sympathy as a video game. I assume all that is in the original, and a reflection of the times, as is the accepted hierarchy of the way people are treated, the adoration for fighting, and the shallowness and superficiality of what all of these characters call love.

So I think I would’ve had trouble reading this and I probably wouldn’t have got through it, for those reasons listed and because these war scenes go on and on and the way that doesn’t interest me so much as an adult female, but the performance was so well done, acted so well and high-quality editing and well thought out that it was quite entertaining.

More please

Listening to this "Three Musketeers" was like listening to a Broadway play. I want to hear more versions. I loved it!
