hmgauthier 's review for:
The Count of Monte Cristo
by Alexandre Dumas
“Have you the will to fight against ill-fortune?”
Starting off with what I didn’t like: I think it’s disgusting how he ended up with Haydee and not Mercedes, if anyone at all, whom he loved since he was 19. Bit of a let down in that aspect.
That aside, I loved so many things about this story. It is really an epic tale of revenge, deception, and the long con. It was heartbreaking, funny, and surprising (shocking seeing how long this book has been out). It’s ridiculously long but every aspect is vital to the story, even when it doesn’t seem like it.
I really liked the aspect of when does taking revenge go too far, that was interesting.
Is Edmond Dante’s bad? Is he good? A bit of both is true.
