A review by marinefuchsia
The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas

4.0

1 missing star for reasons that I cannot expand on without spoiling the ending. However I can say safely that I do find the last chapters rushed in somehow, compared to the overall pace of the book.
4 full stars for this classic of French literature everyone should read once (or twice) in a lifetime: epic, romantic and well written without being pompous.
