smessmores 's review for:
The Count of Monte Cristo [Abridged]
by Alexandre Dumas
The Count of Monte Cristo has been a favorite of mine for practically as long as I can remember (probably helped along by the 1934 movie adaptation I remember my dad getting from the library when I was very young). It's a beautifully crafted story of revenge, and also of the human soul and spirit. You anger with Edmond, you love with Maximilian, you fear with the plotters, and you rejoice in the retribution. But you also understand how Edmond is changed in the process.
