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

5.0

There is a reason why this is a classic. This is one of the best books I have read. Dumas writes such a tangled web of stories, but all the threads come together in the end in interesting ways.

I was looking forward to a great revenge story, and while I did get that, there is so much more to this book! It also deals with: justice, redemption, love, debt and gratitude, fate vs free will, perseverance and transformation. This is a book that will make you think and is fun to discuss. The more I think about it, the more impressed I am.

The full book is long, but it’s definitely worth it! I highly recommend reading the full version
