acogna 's review for:

The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
5.0
adventurous emotional inspiring slow-paced

A revenge story (primarily) but also a mystery, a cautionary tale, and a romance rolled into one. A wild ride of a book that I think—despite its admittedly slow moments—everyone should read at least once in their lives.

Those last chapters had me in wistful, sad, but contemplative longing. A masterpiece of literature!
