Is the three musketeers really on par with the count? I've been meaning to read it for months but I always got the sense it would be disappointing.
Maybe unpopular opinion here, but I just read The Three Musketeers, and it's not even close to The Count of Monte Cristo.
The characters wildly change in tone and basic morals, the heroes are dirtbags, and the plot wanders.
I still enjoyed it, but it just wasn't the same.
I think so. It's top-tier adventure storytelling. The sequels are also great.
The sequels are worth it.
I only read the Count, and I loved it
No. The Count of Monte Cristo is a much better and deeper novel, but The Three Musketeers is much lighter and more fun. They're both good reads for different reasons.
