Summary: A Reader
Review: Probably the best story I ever read. It had just about every quality one could have in a book. Everything fits so perfectly, and it's almost as close as pure genius as it gets. There are many classics that can be compared, but sometimes there are certain books that appeal to one more than others......I guess this is mine.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Extraordinary!
Review: A great book, my favorite to date, full of passion, love, vengence, and insight into human nature. The reviewer who said it's the "reworking of a true story" may be factually correct (I personally don't know) but it is irrelevant. The story is good but the writing is GREAT! It could have been the story of anything. Dumas' insight into the human mind and his style of writing, and his use of suspense is what makes this book a five star, not merely the story.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome, just plain awesome...
Review: From the Frenchman who wrote 'The Man In The Iron Mask' comes 'The Count of Monte Cristo', an intriguing tale of adventure, romance, thievery and everything in between. Bittersweet, sad and touching. You really can relate to the characters and the settings are ever-changing and filled with variety. Great for readers of all ages is the abridged version. The unabridged one may be taxing for some. So if you're an avid adventurer or an aspiring writer looking for ideas, tCoMC is a must-have.

I'd even go as far to say this is the best book I've ever read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Count of Monte Cristo
Review: This is my absolutely favorite book! I really don't like to read books, but this book was incredible. I'm actually 15, but I read this book when I was 13. I recommend this book for teenagers and adults. This book is about a french secret agent from the past tring to get revenge on all of his enemies. This story is hard to follow at times, but the plot and twists are genius!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful!
Review: This book proved to be a worthy companion during a battle with the flu. The magnificent story of Edmond's transformation from a love-struck innocent to a coldly calculating avenger elevated me from a sea of rumpled sheets and tissues to a place of high adventure. His story completely captivated me, and his methods of giving reward to his true friends and exacting careful revenge on his enemies enthralled me. My husband, who had read the novel, grew tired of my croaky requests of "What happens next?" but refused to give anything away. "Just read it" was his advice, and this is the advice that I give to you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Trully inspiring story!
Review: The Count of Monte Cristo, besides being a wonderfully entertaining story, is heart warming and inspiring. One follows not only the path of Edmond Dantes's life but also the path of hate and vengeance. The story blossoms at a comfortable speed so that the semi-complicated storylines don't leave you lost. I will recommend this book to all the people who are looking for an entertaining mind trip to "a dazzling, dueling, exuberant France".

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A story of a man's unjust imprisonment and intricate revenge
Review: Nineteen year old Edmond Dantes is falsely accused and thrown into a dungeon by three men; one sacrifices Dantes to his ambitions, one covets his fiancee, one is jealous of the young sailors success. His unbearable captivity in the Chateau d'If lasts until his ingeniously conceived escape fourteen years later. When he returns to wreak his terrible vengeance on the men who imprisoned him, he is no longer the naive, idealistic Edmond Dantes; he is the cunning, cynical, and fabulously rich Count of Monte Cristo.

The complex plot of the book makes it slightly challenging, but the suspense and intrigue more than compensate. I thoroughly enjoyed this fictional masterpiece!
