5.0 out of 5 stars Ten Years Later is part of the d'Artagnan series (Three Musketeers)
Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2013
Verified Purchase
I like to absorb myself in a story and enjoy the ride. Dumas has written the d'Artagnan series which was serialised over six years in the 19th Century. I started with The Three Musketeers and will keep going all the way through The Man In The Iron Mask (which I have read before, but hadn't until recently known is the conclusion). Some of the middle books dwell on female characters and romance, and show the way well-placed women were able to play politics within the framework of that society. So it is not all swash-buckling, and the dialogue is witty. I don't know any good reason that it hasn't been produced for TV along the lines of Game of Thrones. Dumas was very clever and prolific. I will probably keep reading his works for a bit.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is part of the 4 volume version of the Vicomte de Bragelonne
Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2012
Verified Purchase
The Vicomte de Bragelonne is the 3rd and largest continuation of the Musketeer saga, following The Three Musketeers and 20 Years After. Apparently, most publishers break the Vicomte de Bragelonne into 3 parts - the Vicomte, Louise de la Valliere and the Man in the Iron Mask. (The Oxford World's Classics version does and I too recommend it.) However, some break it into four parts. This volume, 10 Years Later, consists of the last 18 chapters of Oxford's Vicomte and the first 47 chapters of Oxford's Louise de la Valierre. You are unlikely to encounter the Musketeer saga in this form in a printed book but this is an e-book version and probably copyright free! If you are downloading the entire saga to your e-reader, you will need 10 Years Later to avoid a great gap between the e-version of the Vicomte and the e-version of Louise.
All of the Kindle versions of Dumas' work that I have read to date have been scanned well and appear error-free.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Sword of Ridicule
Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2013
Verified Purchase
In "Ten Years Later" by Alexandre Dumas (and ghost writer), Dumas (1802-1870) needs fewer than 100 pages of this 341-page novel to dispel the old saw that gossip is the domain of women. This book is nowhere (as it generally is anyway) without the mindless gossip and petty pursuits of the over-sexed and under-brained court of Louis XIV of France. Not once did any notion of intellectual power display itself on these pages.

I take the title of this review from the book, The Sword of Ridicule, from page 300, the written thoughts of King Louis XIV.

It's often funny, in a put-down kind of way, but really not very entertaining. It is no wonder that this volume never achieved the status of "The Three Musketeers" or "The Count of Monte Cristo." Dumas, it seems, serialized this endless tale, written in the 1840s, primarily to make himself rich. What other purpose could there be?

"Necessity is the mother of invention," is said by Aramis to Fouquet on page 111, when discussing Fouquet's dire financial condition. Is this the creation of the phrase?

It's actually the teen-age female characters who, while totally idiotic, provide intrigue and interest in this story. Even the flamboyant brother of Louis gives little color to the tale. And, only the last 75 pages or so are even remotely interesting.
Chief of the Musketeers Artagnan is barely present in this so-called sequel to the famous "Musketeer" book. Like all sequels of every medium, this one fails spectacularly.

What is humorous is Dumas' sweeping and inaccurate generalizations about women (and men) - ludicrous and highfalutin. But, back in the day, pretension was the by-word, and Dumas captures this unscientific arrogance with a vengeful pen.

Sorry to say, it's barely a 3 but given nonetheless due to the audacious and often well-deserved reputation of Dumas.

And so the saga of the four musketeers continues. Fascinating description of the conversation between the queen mother and her son Philip about his jealousy. Also interesting description of the rates for the prisoners in the Bastille. And how about all the secrets that the royal oak holds. Excellent read.

I look forward to every line, in every story Dumas brings France and Europe to life; I see the buildings, the hills, the characters and even dream of relearning my boyhood French! It's taken me a lifetime to "find" Dumas and I love every book.

Excellent period piece. Not for the general reader of today-too fond of meandering elaboration. A good study for one who is uninterested in the post baroque pre roccoco style of manners and humor. I think Dumas was attempting to channel Molierre.

3.0 out of 5 stars Dramatic volume
Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2021

While I was hoping to see more of our favorite heroes, I'm glad that they were able to make some appearances. Aramis is definitely my favorite character, but I hope to read more of them in the next part.

The ebook needs some revision, however. There plenty of misspelled words, and some of the paragraphs seems a little mixed up from time to time.

2.0 out of 5 stars This is #1 of 4 books
Reviewed in Canada on July 13, 2020

It's a great novel by Alexandre Dumas, but I'm giving it 2 stars because:
1. the description does not clearly states that this is one of four books. It was quite a disappointment to find this out when reaching the end of the book,
2. the print quality is awful- no page numbers, no table of contents. Very few times have I seen such cheap print work,
I would not recommend this edition at all. I've already ordered the 3-volume edition instead, and throwing this one in my recycling box.

So I'm continuing on with the series. This one didn't have much in the way of a standalone story, it's more a continuation without end. Still I do enjoy this author and am ready to start the next book.

I enjoyed the three musketters when I was young and was looking forward to a new encounter with them. However, this story takes place "Ten Years Later" and the musketters don't appear a lot in it, nor do they seem to operate together. Too much of the book is taken up with the superficial love stories of the young king Louis 14 and his court, mincing men and fainting ladies. Not my preference.
