 Favourite Book - ever! November 18, 2008

I have read thousands of book - more than I care to count and I am never without a book - my hands don't feel right if I don't have a book to hold. This is my favourite book of them all. No film or TV broadcast has ever done this book justice. The depth of Dantes revenge and the fine detail that Dumas gives had always enthralled me. I challange every lover of the written word not to find themselves hooked by this dark tale.

I've ordered books in the past where the seller said it was "good" as a comment to condition and appearence and was always pleased, except with this recent exception. I must admit I was disappointed with it's outward appearence when received, and found it necessary to rebuy the book at "Barn Noble", since this was to be part of a Birthday gift. I will be more careful in the future when I see the word "good" as it is subjective from one seller to the other.
Count of Monte Cristo October 17, 2008

I enjoyed the movie, but the book has so much more story background. A person really should check out this book, for more of the count's machinations. Very Clever!

This is one of the thickest books I've ever read, and it was worth every page. Don't be daunted by the size, the complete, unabridged Count of Monte Cristo is not just one of the best adventure stories ever written, but one of the best stories period. The simplicity of the story conceals everything the story has to say about life; the expectations, disappointments, despairs, hatreds, loves, joys and bittersweetness that everyone experiences. This book is timeless and unforgettable.
