My favorite author is Alexandre Dumas, have you heard of him?
No I have never heard of him but have heard of that title as well as 3 muskateers
I am reading the 3 Muskateers now, it is a great book. 
What did you think of the updated three muskateers movie starring Luke Evans? Do you think it is any good compared to the booko?
I think the book is better to be honest, but I've only seen the movie once. 
The author actually joined the French army but his dad didn't like his rank name private. He gave up name thomas and changed to alexander dumas
I think his dad was in the army also, right? 
Yes he served as a general in the war. 
Interesting, I didn't know that. I know his father played a large role in the Revolutionary Wars.
I don't have much time for books but I find the authors backstory fascinating and adds a lot to the books he wrote
