Hoa Tulilp Đen
by Alexandre Dumas
I read The Count of Monte Cristo a few months ago. After I finished, I declared Dumas a literary genius. With high expectations, I set a goal to read all his works.
The Black Tulip is similar to The Count in plot. It follows the wrongly imprisoned Cornelius Van Baerle and his dedication to growing a black tulip.
In the beginning, I liked what I was reading. I was sure I'd devour this short novel. However, it took me twenty-four days to finish this book. I had to force myself to pick it up. I waited patiently for the "I'm hooked" moment, but it never arrived.
Although this novel wasn't great, it's not bad either. I enjoyed the themes and Dumas's prose. Would I recommend it? I've been tossing this question around in my head for the last hour. I would, but only if you're familiar with Dumas. I strongly suggest reading another book if it's your first Dumas!
