5 // oh god this was better than i remembered.

perhaps i will post some of my annotations later but for now take this fever induced thought i had at the peak of my norovirus whilst reading this little livre deliriously:

dumas is like if dickens' adventure/general plot combined with shakespeare's dramatics and tragedies combined with tolstoy's hefty page counts had a threesome love-child, and frankly i support it.

edit: also taylor swift. this is very reputation/red-coded bc HE REMEMBERED IT ALL TOO WELL

Incrível. 
Apesar do tamanho impressionar e dar um pouco de medo/preguiça, você nem sente que tá lendo mais de 1500 páginas.
É viciante, os personagens são muito bem construídos (e olha que são muitos personagens, mas cada um é único e dá para lembrar facilmente quem é quem só pelo jeito que eles falam).
A história é muito complexa, todos os plots se ligam se forma genial.
Eu amei, é uma obra prima.
