The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas

5.0

First time I've re-read this in a very long time. Still a good read. Since the original was serialized in newspapers of the day I see it as one of the original soap operas. I can definitely see it filmed as such. I read the abridged version and it's one of the best revenge stories. I'll even go so far to say it's the grandfather of Mack Bolan and The Punisher, etc.
