I hired this from the library and was unaware that it was a simplified version of the text. One of the reasons I love this book so much is because it is relatively easy to understand and didn't have me reaching for my trusty dictionary. Although it is in a different language, it is just as engrossing and exciting as any English novel, especially since I don't have to "ignore" sentences because I don't understand them. It is a hefty book, with 700 pages and as of yet I am only halfway through reading it. However, all the mousquetaires already feel like close friends and are brilliantly brought to life on the page, and Dumas has an interesting written style that is both formal and informal by turns. For anyone else studying French, I strongly recommend that you give this book a go.
