A review by scrillionaire
The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
5.0
My two favorite things about The Count of Monte Cristo are:
1) How there are like 20 people in all of France, and they are all involved in the same four or five murder plots
2) The entire chapter that Dumas spends extolling the virtues of hashish, which apparently had acid-like qualities in the 1800s?
My two least favorite things are:
1) Literally everything involving Valentine de Villefort, including and especially her relationship with Maximilien Morrel
2) The weird-ass relationship between the Count and Haydee, who is alternately a sex slave and a foster daughter?
