revenge is best served cold.. and with gold, rubies
I have spent the last several weeks reading a book called the Count of Monte Cristo, I once read a kids adaptation of it (taking away things like the counts drug use, and the problems in Villeforts family which can be scary for an 8 year old) and seeing it on my DS classic book collection I decided...

Difficult read, but worth it!
How does one review a classic? Especially one so noteworthy as to have demanded the creation of 11 or more film variations, numerous adaptations, and even television series? I long avoided reading this novel due mainly to it’s daunting size, and the fear that it’s translation would cause the reader... Read full review »

Wait and you will find hope!
While I was in the U.K, I happened to hear about a nice bookstore named Blackwell's in Oxford. Having an endless love for literature, I decided to hop by and give it a try. Little did I know that m soul (and my wallet) would soon be sucked away by it. My friends soon had to warn me that bringing as... Read full review »
My favorite and could very well become yours too!
I first read this book at the tender age of 14 years old when I gazed at its magnificent size in my high school library and having a fixation with big books at the time decided to snatch it up. What made me read the book was pride....so I could boast I had read such a big book, so I could brag on... Read full review »
I got this feeling deep inside of me
The Count of Monte Cristo is an intriguing story replete with allegories, parallelisms, opulent imagery, clever characters depictions and few moments of inaction. At once, we are swept into the world of Edmond Dantes, an idealistic, young sailor who has his hopes dashed by others who would stand to... Read full review »
More Adventure Books Like This Are Needed
"The Count of Monte Cristo" is definitely a must-read. One can be daunted by the length of this specific translation and the sheer thickness of the paperback, but do not be faint-hearted! It is worth the wait and effort.
The story is loosely based on a true account, but this fact doesn't...

Revenge is a dish best served cold. mmmm... revenge.
I grew up in a very educated household. My father has a collection of classic literature that would make even the most well read person envious. Bed time stories were Mark Twain novels, and Louis Carroll stories, we didn't fall asleep to Dr. Seuss or My First Golden Books. Not that there is... Read full review »
Every Time a Season; Every Character a Reason
If your copy of "The Count of Monte Cristo" looks like the cover that's included as a visual aide for this review, you've been duped and I hope you saved the receipt. You don't have "The Count of Monte Cristo." You have the Count of Monte Cristo's bastard midget cousin with attention deficit... Read full review »

This is the story of a...

The Big Payback
If revenge is a dish best served cold, then Alexandre Dumas must have been able to whip up a mean gazpacho as well. "The Count of Monte Cristo", along with "The Three Musketeers" helped propel the author into the air of Victor Hugo and Honroe de Balzac. It tells the tell of a man wronged, and a...

A Tragic Tale
I was assigned to read this book for my English summer reading program.
I chose it because it was written by Dumas who also wrote The Three Musketeers, and The Man in The Iron Mask. I had a hard time starting it because of the way it is written, other than that it was a great read. I got an A...

One of his best
What can I say that hasn't been mentioned time and time again, this has to be one of the most gripping book ever written.
From the first hundred pages where the leading character is jailed, his
experiences in jail, his rise to near G-d like power and
influence, to his mastery of man,...
