Summary: A pure masterpiece!
Review: Alexander Dumas proves in his novel The Count of Monte Cristo that he is definately one of the best litterary geniuses of all time. Dumas captures the imagination of his readers as he leads them through the life of Edmond Dantes. Through Dantes, Dumas relates to everyone who has ever wanted adventure, romance, and of course revenge. It seems as though Dantes is a real human. Dumas uses true tallent in the way he shows the feelings, thoughts, and actions of every character in his novel. This novel is long but never old. It captures the mind in a truly complex intertwined story of a poor young man accused of a crime he never committed. For this, his wonderful life is destroyed. He spends several years in prison. Upon his release he then uses his acquired knowledge to repay his enemies in a most interesting way. All of this leads to an ending that is as good as the rest of the story. This is truly a masterpiece worth reading. Everyone should read this novel. It's worth it.

Summary: Ultimate classic
Review: When I was a student in high school, my English teacher attempted to convey to my class the meaning of a "classic." Her effort would have been nearly nonexistent if she had only suggested we read this book. This book is everything a modern day novel dreams of being. It contains murder, mystery, love lost and found, suspense, hope, suffering, happiness, sorrow, ...the list goes on. My only fear is that I will never read an equal to this masterpiece. Now I am positive that "classic" is not a reference to soda, 50's rock and roll, or cars. Do yourself a favor and read this book.

Summary: Great book
Review: The story is very captating, it taps into two of humanities' basic desires; revenge and power. Too many french words were left unexplained in the book, I assume that they were just copied from the original text. That is the only reason that the book was kept from attaining the ultimate goal of five stars. If you liked the Three Musketeers, you'll love this book

Summary: Great book, but too many French words left unexplained
Review: The story itself is excellent and gets you involved with the first page you read. The only problem is that this translation leaves too many French words unexplained. This makes some of the sentences look too awkward. I assume these words were simply copied asis from the French version.

Summary: The book was intriguing. I couldn't put the book down.
Review: The Count of Monte Cristo was quite an interesting book. The overall theme of this book revolves around man's desire for vengeance towards others who have afflicted his suffering. Where man is never satisfied with what he has. Like Dantes who even if he achieved his revenge he was still not at peace. Dantes realizes that revenge does not solve problems. I recommend this book to others.

Summary: Awsome book
Review: Yo, this book is really cool, Edmond Dantes is a man who never gives up and fights against all odds. I totally respect that. Of all of Dumas's work, I have to say that the Count is by far the best. It has action and love rolled up together. I'd say thats a pretty good combo.
