Intrigue, adventure, escape, passion and planning are just a few words to describe this amazing story. Follow Edmond Dantes as he fights for life, freedom and revenge. Would recommend this book for this book for those who enjoy good a good game of mental chess.

R-E-V-E-N-G-E, find out what it means to me!! This is a juicy, twisty-turny book where the drama Just. Keeps. Coming. Think of Severus Snape as played by Alan Rickman in the early 19th century. I'm talking dramatic reveals (multiple) and brooding handsome older men and passionate younger men and lots and lots of betrayal and life-ruining. Ooooooh yummy!

UPDATE: apparently, a lot of English versions are abridged and they don't friggin' TELL YOU. I feel cheated. this was a re-read and at a mere 511 pages, I thought it was shorter than the first time I read it! I kept thinking I'd get to the drug trip where the guy thought the statues of goddesses were coming alive but I never did, but I thought "I must have read that somewhere else". But no.....
