The Man in the Iron Mask Customer Reviews

:

• 5.0 out of 5 stars from ced -- Start at the start : If you read the entire d'Artagnan Romances(THE THREE MUSKETEERS, TWENTY YEARS AFTER, THE VICOMTE DE BRAGELONNE, LOUISE DE LA VALLIER, THE MAN IN THE IRON MASK), you'll probably feel you've had one of the great reading experiences of your life. If you only read THE MAN IN THE IRON MASK, you'll probably think you've wasted your time. That's because THE MAN IN THE IRON MASK is the third part of THE VICOMTE DE BRAGELONNE, which itself is the third part of the d'Artagnan Romances. DON'T START AT THE END!!! The title "THE MAN IN THE IRON MASK" is so popular that even scholarly publishers like Oxford cash in by selling it WITHOUT TELLING YOU IT'S THE END OF A STORY. To read it by itself is like reading THE RETURN OF THE KING without THE HOBBIT, THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING and THE TWO TOWERS, or only book 7 of HARRY POTTER(I'm just trying to think of popular examples). Start with THE THREE MUSKETEERS, and if you like it, work through the series, whose richness always depends on what came before. The story of the man in the iron mask is one of many subplots in a much larger story, so coming into it from scratch, you might be upset if there are few pages devoted to him. So here's how it goes: THE THREE MUSKETEERS is part 1, TWENTY YEARS AFTER is part 2, and THE VICOMTE DE BRAGELONNE is part 3, but it's a massive part 3, divided into 3 books(in the original French, it's one mega-book, but it got divided in English translation): THE VICOMTE DE BRAGELONNE, LOUISE DE LA VALLIER, and THE MAN IN THE IRON MASK. I repeat my first sentance: If you read the entire d'Artagnan Romances, you'll probably feel you've had one of the great reading experiences of your life.

• from Misfit -- VINE VOICE : Forget the movie, read the book!! ( 5.0 out of 5 stars )
• 2.0 out of 5 stars from da perfesser -- I really wanted to like this book ... : I've read and enjoyed other works by Dumas, so it's not like the writing style threw me off. I wanted to like this book, but I just couldn't get into it. It didn't grab me like the Count of Monte Cristo does. This is not a literary review, just an account of my experience with it. Your mileage may vary. ( Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2019 )
• from Marco Antonio Abarca -- VINE VOICE : No One Can Write a More Thrilling Story than Dumas ( 5.0 out of 5 stars )
• 1.0 out of 5 stars from Kindle Customer -- Dreadful : Not sure if this is the correct forum but here goes. I wrote a review earlier stating ;no probs' I meant the delivery. I had not read the book then. The book translation is appalling. I am allowed the Americanism of 'no probs' but not someone translating an historical masterpiece like this It is full of rubbish like 'C'mon' and 'That feels great' and these are the least ludicrous. I kept going because of the story, trying to ignore the more absurd words and phrases. Eventually I could take no more when Porthos, being told he could choose his own method of execution replied 'Thanks loads'. That did it. I have just ordered a Kindle version of a grown-up edition. Dumas must be turning in his grave. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 10, 2017 )
• 3.0 out of 5 stars from G. K. Griffiths -- Better to read the first two instalments first : I started reading this novel with great enthusiasm and found the story flowed very well in the first few chapters. However it gradually became apparent that characters were appearing in the storyline that I had not encountered previously and I eventually found myself struggling to keep track of the story. I suspect that this is due to my not having read the previous two instalments of the Musketeers story. Consequently I gave up on the latter part of this book having somewhat lost the plot. I also found the presentation of the Kindle version frustrating with pages of continuous text with no paragraph breaks usually followed by a few pages of dialogue which involved continual page turns in very rapid succession. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 6, 2017 )
• 4.0 out of 5 stars from Helen -- Very fine finale to very fine series by Dumas : So much of this book is simply wonderful, as with the earlier parts, and I think Dumas's imagination in using the Man in the Iron Mask theme so cleverly is simply amazing. I read the whole series from start to finish when I was about 13. Before that, at age 9 I had found the first book at home on a bookshelf and I read it then as I'd seen a movie version notlong before, and thenI read it several times more.

• 1.0 out of 5 stars from Mervyn Capel -- Crude Artwork, Story Oversimplified Beyond Belief! Pointless Reprint of 1960s American Comic : These Classics Illustrated comic-book versions of classic novels were things I used to COLLECT as a child, back in the Sixties. Even then I realised they were crudely illustrated & garishly coloured. These modern reprints are even more garish! ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 20, 2019 )
• 3.0 out of 5 stars from RIMS -- Good, but not as good as his Three Musketeers : A good story, but not as good as The Three Musketeers in my opinion. Whilst the latter had my 11 year old engrossed, he had to be cajoled into finishing this. The deaths of Porthos, and various others, were in addition a bit of a downer for a young lad still at the happy ending age. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 18, 2016 )
