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

4.0

I picked this up at school. Thinking it would be a drag i tried to read it as fast as possible but as soon as it started i was thrown into a world of liars and power. This wonderful tale takes you along the path of life of Edmond Dantes. A sailor that has way to much luck and misfortune in his life. The way the book moves from themes of power. Loyalty and revenge is so powerful that i could not put it down. I enjoyed the book but not good for beginners or someone looking for an easy read. Some language is difficult and sometimes the story is hard to follow. But i think that is what intrigued me. I loved it and think it is a good book for people trying to broaden their mind and find new books to read.
