More Adventure Books Like This Are Needed

by   ezra_kim ,  Apr 5, 2002
Pros: epic saga
Cons: lengthy
The Bottom Line: sword fights, beautiful women, betrayal, what more couly you ask for?
Review: "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...
