Product Details


Product Description

From AudioFile

Naxos follows its usual pattern of punctuating the narrative with carefully chosen classical musical segments appropriate to the mood of the particular part of the story. Bill Homewood reads this tale of French political intrigue in an emotionally intense British voice that is crisp and effective. He shades his characters subtly through intonation and pacing, his voice rising with excitement as various crises develop and climax. The story details the final days of the Three Musketeers and D'Artagnan, with only one left alive at the end. Heavily abridged by Homewood himself, the tale retains its essential core, and the result is exciting and satisfying. D.W.

3.0 out of 5 stars Librarianwatch, Nov 24 2003
By A Customer
Buyers need to know that the Bt version of this book is written down to a 4th grade level. I can't see anywhere on the listing that it says abridged, but this is 118-pages of large print--not the original at all.

1.0 out of 5 stars The Corsican Brothers does not fit in., Oct 11 2003
By Michael D. Donovan (Springfield, Virginia United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is what I originally put in my review:

If the order of Dumas' D'Artagnan novels is: The Three Musketeers, Twenty Years After, The Vicomte de Bragelonne, Ten Years Later, Louise de la Valliere, and The Man in the Iron Mask, as one reader has put in his review, then where does The Corsican Brothers fit in? I only filled in 1 star because that was a required field. I haven't actually read the book.

I have since learned that _The Corsican Brothers_ is not related to the Musketeers/D'Artagnan series. It not only set during Dumas' own lifetime, he made himself a minor character in it.

I would have deleted this whole review, except that I saw that 1 in 6 people found it helpful. I hope the one person who liked it sees this correction. My appologies to the other five.

5.0 out of 5 stars The last in the series, Dec 19 2002
By A Customer
I have read all five books in the that began with "The Three Musketeers", and ended with this book. There isn't a bad book in the series and I recomend that you read them all.
