Book: The Three Musketeers

Title: The Three Musketeers
Author: Alexandre Dumas
Thoughts: This book was read to me over the course of several months. My husband reads to me every night before bed, because I have a long history of insomnia...and his voice puts me to sleep, apparently. It was an amusing book, in desperate need of an editor---I know this is because it was orginally written as a serial, meaning readers might need a long catch-up paragraph every other chapter. Boy-oh-boy does that get old when you're reading it straight through, though.

The best thing about it were the sarcastic additions by my husband. I'll just leave it at that. But there were times when he would do a character voice or make a sideways comment that had me in STITCHES.
