4.0 out of 5 stars A True Love Story, March 17, 2001
La dama aux Camelias is Marguerite Gaultier, one of the most desirable courtesans in Paris with a very expensive taste. This is a sad love story of her affair with Armand Duval, a man that could not satisfy her demands for luxury but who could fulfill her need for being love and love but life is a too complicated of a matter. This novel is based on a true love story from Duma's life and in this edition of the book you could find quite some good links between the story and the events in real life of Alexandre, fils

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best!, November 19, 2006
By Leigha R. Keese (Anchorage Alaska USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am currently writing a research paper on La Dame Aux Camelias. I have read the book many times, and every time it has the same effect on me. Dumas fils gives us a thorough understanding of the love between Armand and Marguerite, which mirrors the love he had for Marie duplessis, whose affair this book was based on. The levels of love and sacrifice are amazing and leave the reader craving more. After the book is finished you'll still be wondering about the poor girl who died with a broken heart, so that her love could have a proper future, and have a clean name. You'll love it, I promise!

4.0 out of 5 stars The story of Verdi's La Traviata, March 2, 2009
As an opera lover, I'm especially crazy for this famous, crushing tale- but anyone can appreciate the beautifully way this haunting love story is told.

1.0 out of 5 stars Silly story
I don't like to criticise so negatively but this has no humor and is definitely not on the level of the elder Dumas. Read more

While "La Dame" is a very good romance and a nice read, it can't compare to the far superior works of the author's Father, Alexandre Dumas, Pere. Read more
