Another all-time favorite. Life-altering book. If you've seen the movie...you have no idea what this book is about, sorry! Dumas is a master.

Started off reading this rip-roaring roller coaster of revenge with my daughter but it was a bit heavy going for a turn-taking exercise and I ended up finishing it in audio format. It's amazing how much detail he goes into about everything. Every character has their own little subplot and their own character development. There are plots and disguises and poisons and misteries and love triangles all over the place. It's not wordy in the way an 800 page American thriller would be, but he's certainly filling in every inch of blank space in our picture of events. Very nice.

The first and possibly only time that I'll ever enjoy reading through a character spending six longs years in a dungeon. While the large cast of characters quickly became overwhelming, the tension and drama was powerful.

This book was captivating. It started out a little slow, but it gained speed and plot twists as it went on. It is not surprising that this book is considered a classic. Worth reading!
