The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas, is a high level reading book, and reads very scholarly. It is an older book, which makes it kind of boring and dull, but it is not too bad. "Many citizens, seeing the women flying toward the High Street, leaving their children crying at the open doorshastened to don the cuirass, and, supporting thier somewhat uncertain courage with a musket or a partizan, directed thier steps toward the hostelry of the Franc-Meunier, before which was gathered, inreasing every minute, a compact group, vociferous and full of curiosity." True Believer by Nicholas Sparks is a much more harmonious, decorative type of style. His sentences are full of elegant, flowery words that attract you to read more and more. Lastly, Little Bee, by Chris Cleave, is more traditional writer it seems like, and his thoughts are straightforward.
