July 12, 2009: I had read all of Dumas' more commonly available titles (Three Musketeers, Count of Monte Cristo) and decided to give this one a try. I love it - it's the first of the Marie Antionette series that ends with Chevalier du Masion Rouge. This one is typical Dumas - adventure, great story, heroic characters.
