Summary: mindblowing!!!!!!!
Review: I had borrowed my friend's copy of this and I assured her that it's gonna take a long time before I could give it back and what do you know, I finished it 3 days!!!!Because the moment you start reading it you cannot put it down.The things he had been through is so unfair you can almost feel it that you wanted to strangle those people who did him wrong.There are some loopholes though in some of the situation but then it is fiction so Dumas has the liberty to do whatever he thought was best to give the story that edge. The movie is good but the book is better.

Summary: For a person who hates reading... this was amazing
Review: I'm fifteen and i had to read this book over the summer period. Like i said before, i hate reading because it seems like i have ADD whenever i pick up a book... i just can't stay focus on the plot. But this was one of the few books that i actually got into and didn't mind spending my summer reading. It's filled with adventure, twists and turns, a little romance, and memorable characters. Yes, it is a little long, but once you read a page of this story, the time seems to fly as you seem to be transported into Paris w/ our protagonist. This is going to be one of my favorite books of all time.

Summary: Great book, but buy a different version
Review: This is a great book and I highly recommend it, but don't buy this enriched classic version of the book. It was good, but I felt like something was missing, and not until I finished the book did I discover that this version leaves out significant portions of the actual story. Nowhere in this book does it tell you that it is an abridged version, but it actually is. Buy a different version of this book.

Summary: A True Classic!
Review: This is honestly one of the greatest novels I have ever read. I absolutely loved this book. I could not put it down! This is a must read for anyone.When I first started into this novel, I had in my memory the 'movie' that was made for the big screen. So of course, I expected the book to be very similar to it. Well, I was very wrong! Other than Edmond Dantes being betrayed by his 'friends' and finding the treasure, this book takes on a different route.Believe me, the book is much more superb. The way the Count exacts his revenge is astonishing. I cannot fathom how Dumas came up with such a scheme. At times, one cringes for the those who wronged the Count. This book made me laugh and cry. There are many poignant moments throughout the book that make you feel good. Anyone who says that Dumas is not up there with the 'classic' writers, does not know what they are talking about. This book is rich in dialogue, mystery, suspense and storyline. All in all, this is an amazing classic, and I recommend it to anyone wanting a good read.
