Summary: A True Great Classic
Review: Perhaps one of the best novels ever written, the Count of Monte Cristo is a story of an innocent man that seeks to revenge his wrongful imprisonment. Dumas brilliantly confronts themes pertaining to nearly all facets of human existence including that of justice, revenge, love, friendship, greed, jealousy, etc. Despite its vivid detail and striking character development, the novel reads rather easily and quickly. This story has been the inspiration of many great movies, most notably, that of The Shawshank Redemption (1994). Truly a classic and a must read.

Summary: The Count of Monte Cristo- One of the best books I have read
Review: The Count of Monte Cristo is one of the best books I have ever read. It was captivating. It's the type of book that demands your attention from beging to end leaving you wondering, "whats going to happen next?" We deffinately need more authors like Alexandre Dumas he writes incredible story's that are classics all there own

Summary: A weak and long novel offering little substance.
Review: The text is long, but is an easy read. The characters are all flat, with the exception being one of the villians. There is the occasional bright spot, but these are usually separated by two or three hundred pages. I would only recommend this novel to people whose age is counted using a single digit.

Summary: The most creative and entertaining story I've ever read
Review: I read the long and unabridged version of The Count of Monte Cristo and it was by far the most fun read I've had from beginning to end. What the world needs today is more people with the creativity of Dumas. If you're tired of the lame "let's write and market the hell out of a predictable 180 page story so we can sell the movie rights ASAP" novel of today, this book will make you believe that there's still a place in the world for great literature and storytelling.

Summary: Unabridged is always better
Review: I've read this book four or five times, and now that I am re-reading the unabridged version, I realize exactly what I've been missing. It is especially significant after 4 years of History and English studies, the references make more sense and the Historical interludes are more significant. If you've never read the book, look into a version with decent foot notes...

Summary: this is a perfect example of an overrated book.
Review: As I read this book in english class, I found this novel way too long and bombasic. But then I found out why it was so long. The author was paid for each chapter that he wrote. If anyone is stupid enough to actually buy and read this work of verbose crap on their spare time, I pity that person. Much of the stuff that happens in the middle of the book has nothing to do with the plot.

Summary: The Best Book for pretty much all ages!!!
Review: Thsi book is about Edmont Dante who is betrayed by his so-called-friends. He goes through much suffering. Then he comes back in order to pay back the people that hurt him and help the people that only wanted the best for him. It's a mystery, a love story, and everything put together. This book was absolutly great. I would read it again if I had time.
Rating:
Summary: Cool Story of Revenge and rewards
Review: This book is so wonderfully put together. the complex plot makes it very enticing and you can't put it down. I love how Edmond gets back at those who betrayed him by simply bringing their crimes into the eyes of the people. His insults are also ones to be envious of.

Summary: The Count of Monte Cristo is a gorgeous novel of suspense.
Review: The Count of Monte Cristo has to have been one of the memorable books I have ever encountered. It is one of those great stories capable of pulling the reader in, overcoming the barriers of time, lanuage and culture. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking to spend a lot of time with a truly enjoyable novel.
