"All human wisdom is contained in these two words - Wait and Hope."
I can't believe I finished this book! It was a true journey, one that took me two whole months to complete. What's even more unbelievable is that this is one of my first classics. And it was 1300 pages! I'm so happy I read this book, and finished it. The first 25% and the last 25% had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. It got a bit slow in the middle, but it picked up again. I adore Edmond Dantes. I love Morrel, and Mercedes. There's something about revenge stories that I always seem to enjoy. They're always so satisfying! And this one was no exception. Dantes was smart, cold, calculating, and yet still he retained some humanity through the friends he made along his path to enact revenge. He reminded me of Kaz Brekker. This book was dynamic, it was dramatic, and it was so much fun! This book had me gasping; my jaw was on the floor at some parts. On some days, the 2 chapters (sometimes 3!) that I read per day were some of the best parts of my day. I'm going to miss this book so much! This story had revenge, murder, poison, jailbreaks, love and redemption. What more could you want?

95% of the time you’ll have a great time following the story and characters and then Dumas drops something like the Count wanting to….. his own adoptive daughter, that he has cared for since she was a literal child. - and you don’t know what to make of it.
That left a sour taste in my mouth and prevents me from rating it 5 stars.
