Rating: Summary: This was a Great Book!!! Review: I was required to read this book for my English class and was not exactly thrilled. I finished reading it and was completly stunned at Dumas's intelligance & brilliance. The book was wonderful & kept me reading to find out what would happen next. I felt as if I knew each & everyone of the character's keenness, evilness, kindness, & image. Although, it did have a few slow parts, the ending was wonderful. I would definatly read it again.
Rating: Summary: This is the Muhammad Ali of books, The Greatest of all time. Review: Dumas is the greatest story teller ever, and this is his finest work. If you love adventure, great yarns or being captivated by excellence, read this book.
Rating: Summary: Vengence... Review: Whether or not this book is the best ever written, whether it will go on as a timeless look at humanity, I don't honestly know. What I do know is that from the time of Dante's undeserved imprisonment, to the final acts of his revenge that bring a chill rolling through the spine, the reader feels an empty anger that only justice can sate. When the final page whispers against the closing cover, the reader, like Edmund, can again feel whole.
Rating: Summary: The greatest piece of fiction in the world! Review: This is, without a doubt, the most masterful piece of storytelling to ever have been written. Alexandre Dumas paints a canvas of characters that are larger-than-life, with motives such as revenge, deceit, greed, lust, vindictiveness, and a sense of justice propelling them. This book has everything!If you are looking for an epic adventure, then this is the ultimate book for you. This book has been my favorite novel since I was required to read it in 9th grade English class. Over the years I have visited and revisited it, and have yet to grow tired of it.
Rating: Summary: The best book I've ever read. Review: This is without question the greatest novel I've ever read. I can't even imagine one that would top this (and I've read almost all of the "classics"). A story of revenge, romance, mystery, deception, intrigue, this one has got it all. It's an absolute must-read.
Rating: Summary: revengeful book Review: good book but i thought it got a little slow in the middle. Some parts though i couldnt put the book down. Especially the first 1/3 of the book or so.
Rating: Summary: My favorite literature for 60 years. Review: This book has appealed to me since I was in my teens. I'm prompted to read it again after watching a masterful version of in a French movie (with subtiltles.) It was shown in four episodes on Arts & Entertainment - very superior to other movies telling this story. I have ordered a copy to read it again, since I last read it several years ago. I intend to encourage my children and grandchildrem to read it. Since it is so much based on revenge, I have often wondered what this meant about me, but it makes me feel ill to read some of these reviews by those who do not grasp the essence of this book, unless they found it too difficult for them to understand. I cannot in any way see this as a shallow novel. This book is truly a classic, especially for one who is as infatuated with France, as am I. Yes, it takes effort to keep the characters sorted out, but maybe it will become easier for me as I have gained wisdon over the years. This book belongs in my personal library, along with my other great favorite books, accumulated more recently.
Rating: Summary: Best Novel Ever Review: You must read it
Rating: Summary: WONDERFULL, THE BEST BOOK EVER WRITTEN. Review: THE ONLY BAD THING ABOUT THIS BOOK IS THAT IT SPOILS YOU FOR OTHER BOOKS. I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN, AND WHEN I WAS DONE I ACTUALLY MISSED IT LIKE A OLD FRIEND. I WILL READ THIS BOOK COUNTLESS TIMES, AND IM SURE I WILL LOVE IT EACH TIME.
Rating: Summary: My FAVORITE BOOK OF ALL TIME! Review: I read this book after the reference to it in the autobiography Sleepers. Since then I have read it three times. This novel is extremely thought out and it's great how Dumas brings it all together. I'll never get sick of reading it. I recommend you go get this and read it now. You won't be able to put it down!
