Summary: A gripping novel of harrowing adventure and suspense!
Review: This is clearly one of Dumas' masterpieces. In the first chapter the reader is immediately enthralled by the evocative prose and lush descriptions. I've always thought that being exposed to great literature would inevitably have a positive impact on the reader, enabling him/her to use language to better effect and perhaps even spell correctly. Sadly, in the case of other Amazon reviewers, this appears to be completely untrue.

Summary: A wonderful story superbly written.
Review: The story evokes all the emotions of the heart. It has love, joy, despair, fear, deceit, jealousy, and revenge. The characters are wonderfully developed in full detail, and by the end of the novel become intricately interwoven. The story itself is very moving. It is fast paced, with several exciting moments, and varied settings. It is a trajedy, yet only in circumstance. The main character does, in fact, triumph in the end. Although he does not attain complete happiness, he does experience amazing accomplishments in his incredibly difficult life. Inspiring!

Summary: So satisfying!
Review: I do not understand why The Three Muskateers is Dumas' most well-known, popular story. The Count of Monte Cristo is far superior. So many people I have met have never even heard of this wonderful book. Why?

Summary: The best book that I have ever had the pleasure to read!
Review: If you like suspense mixed with delicately crafted details and descriptions, Dumas stands alone in this field, then this is the book for you. It will take you on a journey, with a young man named Edmund, through the trials and tribulations of an accused bonapartist. It is a story of love, greed, envy, and most importantly...revenge!

Summary: The story of Dantes is perhaps the best adventure story ever
Review: The review guidelines state that I can compare this book with others. Unfortunately, I cannot think of another adventure story written just as well as The Count of Monte Cristo.The story of Dantes's imprisonment, enlightenment, escape, and revenge places this story in the hearts of all who has read the book. I have read the book for more than 20 times and each time I gain a new insight on a certain aspect of the book. A must read for anyone who loves to read.

Summary: One of the best books I've ever read
Review: I followed Edmond Dantes for 24 years. from a happy young man through many years of suffering till his revenge, which eventually didn't make him happy as he thought it would. What would have his life been like if he didn't have the misfortune to be imprisoned for 14 years. I think he would have made a fortune by himself and be happy at the same time, maybe less educated and brilliant but definitely happy. I couldn't help love and admire him and was sorry to let him go at the last page of the book. Dumas' writing is brilliant and breathtaking. He lets the reader guess and understand sometimes things that are not even written. I wonder how much of Dantes is Dumas. The Count of Monte Cristo is one of the most wonderful and exciting books ever written.

Summary: A very good book
Review: This is about a young sailor who was framed by his three friends. So he end up in a tight security prison. There he spent about 14 years. Finally he escaped and seek revange. I won't write all the facts as it will spoil your fun. My summary might not be so nice but the book is great. One of the best.

Summary: The best book ever.
Review: This book, The Count of Monte-Cristo, is by far the best, and most intriuging novels I have ever read. The first copy I read, was unabridged, and it enthralled me so that I couldn't put it down. I finished reading it exactly one week later (I started on a Monday; finished on the following Monday), for I could not set it down. Dantes, Villefort, Danglars, Mondego et al, were the most intresting characters ever have I found in my fifteen years of reading. This book was certianly Dumas' coup de grace.
