One star rating only because you can get this exact same book DRM-free directly from the Delphi Classics website. The book itself is excellent like all of Delphi Classics publications, and Alexandre Dumas is a wonderful writer, but I can't recommend buying it from Google because it's locked with Adobe DRM meaning that you can't freely copy the book to the device of your choice. Delphi Classics books bought directly from the publisher are DRM-FREE, so don't waste your money on the Google version.

1-star simply because this book can't be exported to EPUB like most other Delphi series books.
