Truly incredible reading experience I could have just kept going and going and going.
So very unique of a reading experience as well it’s almost impossible to put into words since you LIVE in this book for a long time and everything is just SO epic.
The start is so beautiful and I really really loooovvveed the start of this book (like first 400/500 pages), I loved this book the whole way through don’t get me wrong but the start was just so mystical. The character of the Count of Monte Cristo is definitely the COOLEST character I’ve ever read.
Really loved it, definitely one of my favourite books of all time.

It’s a classic for a reason. My all time favorite book thus far. A quintessential tale of romance and revenge that spans hundreds of pages and has stood the test of time as a beacon in literary excellence. Everyone should read it at least once.
