It's not just a love story Jun 6 2003
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Dumas' profound knowledge of French history is amazing. When reading his books, one should always look beyond the plot and read between the lines. He describes the era of intrigues and struggle for power in such a fascinating, colorful and dramatic way that one can only wonder at his talent. What is the aim of any book, anyway? Dumas' readers become part of his stories. The wit with which he puts history down on paper truly makes him one of the greatest historians of all times!

Dumas' profound knowledge of French history is amazing. His every book is something more than just a love story. While reading his books, one should always look beyond the plot and read between the lines. Dumas describes that era of intriques so colorfully and in such a witty and fascinating way that it really makes him one of the greatest historians of all times! It's true about all his books - and what is the aim of a book, anyway? Dumas can make any reader be a part of his books!

good book Dec 8 2002
Format:Paperback
yes its a good book, king henry sits in his castle fagging around, his brother d'anjou wants to be a king, because he's got nothing better to do all day long and has no playstation 2. bussy in love with somebody else's wife and wants to score so is her husband. chicot king's jester is so smart and perceptive that i think the writer of this book used chicot instead of his real name, bussy dies, because he won't give up monsoro's wife and monsoro is so h0rny and because of it very angry. oops i just read you entire book
