I know some people who do not like this book very much and I understand why. While you certainly start of feeling pity for Dantes because of the injustice he suffered his cold-bloodedness, his conviction to do God's work and willingness to also punish the children for the wrongs their fathers did is...
This is one of the books that I keep coming back to and re-reading whenever the urge strikes...and it strikes quite often; five times so far. Considering the sheer length of the book that might seem odd, but Dumas keeps things moving with his breakneck pace from the moment that poor Edmond Dantès is...
A fantastic book, which I wouldn't even know how to begin to review properly. I will just say this; the Wordsworth Classics-edition, with its endnotes by Keith Wren, heightens the experience of the book simply for the hilarity that is Wren and his at times frustrated irritability with the translator...
p35Danglers: "Absence separates as effectively as death; so just suppose that there were the walls of a prison between Edmond and Mercedes: that would separate them no more nor less than a tombstone."Caderousse: "Yes, but people get out of prison.

What I find interesting about Dumas is that there is a general popular view that his work is literature but, in fact, it is very much genre fiction of the 19th century. Dumas was a bit of a hack and churned out his work. He ...
Never did I think that I would read a book which is over 1000 pages long (a CLASSIC book at that) and love every part of it! The Count of Monte Cristo is an amazing book which I didn't want to end. It has everything that I want in a good book; good pacing, lots of suspense, an interesting set of cha...
We have all been wronged at some point.The degrees, of course, are what change. A slight infraction, a bitter con, or, as some of us have experienced, something that took our lives clearly off course. A betrayal that rocks us to our core, forever changing our future, ourselves.Some people have never...
