I did, very much -- thank you! It started off a little slow; the reversals were so blatantly in-your-face that it felt a little forced, like the author was beating you over the head with it, but somewhere about 25 pages in it all clicked and I was totally engrossed. It reminded me of listening to Shakespeare -- the language sounds really weird for about half an hour and then your ears and mind adjust and it sounds completely normal :) I loved Spinnerman Owlmoss, and that last chapter just finished it off so perfectly. I'll be reading it again.

My favorite Dumas is actually The Count of Monte Cristo. I just finished listening to it again on Librivox.
