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

5.0

This book is quite the journey. There are tons of things I’m sure I missed but I had a great time reading it. It always amazed me how easy it was to pick back up after a few weeks of not reading. The characters are fun and interesting, the prose is impeccable, and the plot takes all the necessary twists and turns. It takes a lot of patience to pick up this book and finish, but it is so worth it in the end. The count says it best himself that all human wisdom comes from the words “hope” and “wait.”
