"Every once in a while I give in to one of these THREE MUSKETEERS type adventure stories that pretends to be literature. They always disappoint. An entertaining book, not at all bad, but I wanted it to be more."
"The book is good, but I must say, it reads like what it is, a late-Victorian romance.
The 1937 movie, with Ronald Colman and Madeleine Carroll, while true to the book, takes the story and makes it shine!
(Don't, though, bother with the 1952 version, which not only boasts horrible miscasting, but is a scene-for-scene remake of the earlier movie. And whatever you do, do not ask me about the '79 or '88 remakes!!)"
"Brisk and highly entertaining adventure! Nicely written, with amusing touches and, in my copy, some very nice illustrations. The end, though, was (to me) rather sad in a way, and a bit unresolved, but it also hints at a sequel....which I'll have to look for."
"This swashbuckler was delightfully fun and well-written. I am curious to see what becomes of the diabolically suave Rupert Hentzau in Hope's sequels to The Prisoner of Zenda, and his ill-fated love affair with Princess Flavia."
