f_v 's review for:

De graaf van Monte-Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
4.0

Beautiful, sad, long, at first a bit complicated when all the characters are introduced, but it has everything: love, loss, betrayal, lots and lots of revenge. Also poisonings, a lesbian couple, iligitimate kids, beautiful houses, a stingy banker, traveling in carriages and on horses.

Downsides; at times sexist. This is probably a consequence of the time it was written in, but still.

Glad I read this to finally know what it's about. The length was less of a downside than expected, because I felt it was quite readable.
