Despite its length, The Count of Monte Cristo is a pretty easy read. It grabs your attention with all the story’s subplots. The main story is about Edmond Dantes taking revenge for being wrongfully incarcerated. Yet, there’s other things going on in the background. All these subplots connect beautifully by the end, leading to a satisfying conclusion.
When Edmond Dantes takes his revenge, you can’t find yourself feeling sorry for the schemers. Throughout the story, you hear of their terrible deeds. The only ones you feel pity for are the innocents who have to pay the price for their husbands and fathers’ crimes.
I think this a book you must read at some point in your life. It made me realize how easy your circumstances can change from one day to another.
