I have only actually read the abridged version. I give the abridged version a five. Someday I will finish the unabridged and we'll see if it's just as great.
Edited to add: I read the unabridged version and really liked it as well. There are so many more subplots that I sometimes had a hard time keeping track of, but still loved the story.

Alexandre Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo is truly a piece of art. I read this novel for school requirement, but that did not diminish the amount of excitement I have about finishing this book. Between analyzing the plot twists, character traits, side stories, goods and evils, and at times the meaning of life, I can truly say that reading this novel has changed my own perspective. Though frustrated by choices many of the characters make, I looked forward to each new chapter and each new development. The writing is eloquent and smooth, and the plot is fast and ever-changing. As soon as you read of a character's history, relationships and decisions click in to place, and everything connects. As my reading came to a close, I found myself wanting more and becoming almost nostalgic when the ending related to the innocent beginning. I will definitely recommend this to others in the future and I'm glad I had the chance to read this novel.
