Well I can certainly see why this has been in print for nearly 80 years. It is a pretty grand comedic adventure and a lot of fun to read. I'm satisfied with the Pevear translation, though I haven't anything to compare it to: it read smoothly and coherently and I felt like I was getting not just the story but the Dumas' flair for storytelling.
