A review by dnandrews797
The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas

4.0

This book, while long, was absolutely dazzling. One of my favourite themes for a novel is an epic revenge quest and the Count of Monte Cristo certainly delivered. I think at one point or another we’ve all been unjustly wronged in our lives and this story can reconcile that desire for justice through Dante’s journey of seeking redress for his wrongful imprisonment. Ultimately, I like that he realized revenge, while it may feel good in the moment, will end up destroying you just as much as those you hate. 10/10.
