5.0

This was book was so amazing, but sooooo long. I had trouble making it through just because I've never read a book this long before. But all of Edmond Dantes' plans were so intricate, and so well thought out. I want the Count of Monte Cristo to be re-made, but with the same actors as before (Jim Caviezel, Guy Pearce, etc).

“So, live and be happy, children dear to my heart, and never forget that, until the day when God deigns to unveil the future to mankind, all human wisdom is contained in these two words: ‘wait’ and ‘hope’!”
