I didn't think I would love this book, but here we are. This is a masterpiece. It's one big and rich adventure story with a set of fantastic characters. Some stories are heartwarming, others are sad, but there's a great balance of the two. This may be more than 1200 pages, but it didn't bore me for a second. It's a complex story filled with smaller stories and adventures, but every single page is wonderful. I won't stop talking about this book for a long time. It's just too good.

“‘Do you, then, believe in God” said Caderousse.
‘Had I been so unhappy as not to believe in him until now,’ said the abbé, ‘I must believe on seeing you’” (811)
“Out of the 5,000,000 or 6,000,000 francs which form your real capital, you have just lost nearly 2,000,000 francs, which must, of course, in the same degree, diminish your credit and fictitious fortune; to follow out my simile, your skin has been opened by bleeding, which, repeated three or for times, will cause death—so pay attention to it, M. Danglars. Do you want money? Do you wish me to lend you some?” (636)
“God may seem sometimes to forget for a time, while His justice reposes, but there always comes a moment when He remembers” (222)

Tarina kertoo Monte Criston kreivistä, joka kostaakseen kohtalonsa pitää itseään Jumalan lähettämänä sallimuksena juoniessaan vihollistensa tuhon.
1800-luvun alkupuolen Ranska ja Italia seurapiireineen on viihdyttävää lukemista.
Aikansa tuotos, niin hyvässä kuin pahassa.
Ah, teatraalinen, goottilainen, suosikkini! Ihmisyyden pahuus - ja hyvän pilkahdukset.
