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

5.0

Without any exaggaration, this is one of the best books I've ever read. My copy was around 837 pages and I breezed through them, it felt like reading the journal of a long-lost friend. It is a work of genius and one of the most clever ways I have ever seen revenge, love and hatred portrayed in fiction. It lacks the tiring clichés of other books with similar themes and was honestly refreshing.
