OMG!! Despite the fact that Peter & I have been discussing what book to read next for about a week and we did a chapter countdown, I am having a hard time dealing with the fact that it's over. :'(There was ONE chapter in this book that I did not like. And the rest I adored. This book captivated both...
I love this story although this is probably one of the longest books I've ever read (or so it seemed at the time). I have to admit on this one I like the movie and its deviation from the original story better :) It's a great classic and I think everyone should read it once! Maybe in installments ;-)

I started reading this novel at the beginning of February 2012 as I write today is 23rd June (same year) so that makes it about five months since I started reading about the life and times of M. Edmond Dantès, better known as caped crusading The Count of Monte Cristo or to his friends. A record bre...
I really liked this book.First the bad: Too much. Too many characters, too many pages, too many emotions, too many plot twists.But that's why I liked it.
