The Count of Monte Cristo

Rating:
Summary: It's ingenious. What more can I say?
Review: It was one of the best books I've ever read, next to Tolkein's "Lord of the Rings". I think Dumas would be delighted that so many people 150 years later are still thriving over this novel. I've gotta buy the leather-covered edition :)

Summary: A Wonderful Addition to Any Home Library
Review: I just finished this story last night. I am in 11 years old and I loved it!!!! Yeah, sure my teacher said I wouldn't be able to 'grasp' it, but I did and fell right into the story. The characters are so real, and the story seems so true, you forget everything when you read it! Hurry up and buy it!

Summary: Beuatifully written complex novel
Review: The Count of Monte Cristo offers hours of entertainment asDumas takes his readers from the dungeons of an island jail to Paris'high society. The Count seeks justice for his imprisionment and his adventures lead him to vindication for his youth in a cell. If you are a romantic at heart or love a good tale of revenge, then I recommend The Count of Monte Cristo (don't be intimidated by the length).

Summary: A timeless classic for all readers
Review: I would recommend this book to everyone. It is not often we come across a book this well written. This is one of the few books that keeps you in suspense and makes you keep reading. From the first sentence to the last few words Alexander Dumas is one of the best.

Summary: Twisted plot and deep characters highlight this superb book
Review: I read this for a summer reading book, and although sometimes I had to reread some parts of it to fully grasp it, it is one of the best books I've ever read. The characters are incredibly realistic while the themes and inner stories are rich and touching. If you enjoy exhilerating adventure, tender romances, or cold blooded murder, this story is definitely for you.

Summary: Iz a KEWL BOOK!
Review: I LOVE THIS BOOK! AUGH!!! This is a book NOT limited to adults! PAH-LEEASE! The book is such a classic! Not only that it's exquisitely plotted and written. At first when I saw it sitting on our shelf I thought, "Augh! This looks so boring...no one would ever want to read this... @_@" When I pointed it out to my sister (an avid reader) she told me it's one of the BEST books she's ever read. And it's TRUE! Dumas is numero uno! The master! he's my favorite author eversince I read the book and he still number one! :) READ IT! You'll love it! Rather difficult to read though (if you have a cranky vocab like me -_-) but it's worth the effort eventhough it means flipping through the dictionary! :) I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO EVERYONE!

Summary: Marvelous piece of literature
Review: This was an excellent piece of writing. It is definitely a classic (I've read most of the other "classics). I read this book in 6th grade and I still remember many of the details. It is based on so much hate and revenge, like the human nature, it makes you want to look into yourself and ask the same questions.

Summary: This book is great!
