Summary: Hollywood Take Notice!!! <again>
Review: Ok, Ok, ok. I will be honest. The only problem with this book is that I didn't find it on my own and had to rely on the public school system to help me discover it. I couldn't help but tink that it would make the best movie ever, and then I saw the version with Chamberlin...ew...a mistake...but should Hollywood ever decide to try again, they have a Mercedes wannabe in Virginia. I'd be the immortal Dantes himself, but gender restraints do exist....:( God bless you, Mr. Dumas!!!

Summary: FASCINATING STORY OF HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS
Review: My first exposure to the book was in an abridged format but soon i got hold of an unadbridged version. so much was the attraction for the book. alexandre is a master story teller and subtly interwoven the emotions of love, revenge, hatred, jealousy, greed, ethics and so on.the story begins with the conviction of Edmond Dantes, an innocent sailor to life imprisonment in solitude where he meets an incredible man in Abbe Faria who gives him wealth of knowledge and unbelievable treasure. Dantes returns to his native soil as Count of Monte Cristo and exacts revenge on those who were responsible for his misery. Alexandre has displayed his skill in mapping out the rather elaborate manner in which Edmond reduces his opponents to near despair but at the same time ensuring that no innocent bystanders get hurt. the episode in which he bribes a telegraph clerk to deliver a wrong message which ultimately bleeds one of his opponents by millions of francs is very reflective of his understanding of human nature. overall, a book that is a must for anybody who is keen on understanding human emotions at play.

Summary: Unreal? yes, but fantastic nonetheless.
Review: So the critics say there are too many coincidences in the book for it to be believable. But this is a story that is believed because we the readers want to believe that the injustices in the world will be righted. And couple that with thrilling adventure, cultural flavor, interesting characters with hidden pasts, tapestried rooms with dirty secrets, and a dashing hero who rises from his lowest to become the angel of justice, this is a book that will never lose its charm. Furthermore, it is is an in depth look into the human psyche -- the distances we will go in pursue of love and happiness. It is just a great feeling to find that against all odds (and sometimes it does seem that way in the book) happiness can be obtained.

Summary: In its category, evidently one of the top ten.
Review: As most of Dumas'book, it is inspired of another story, and probably partly co-written, but who cares? the result is a book I'm still in love with, since I was ten... really gorgeous.

Summary: A true classic in anyone's language
Review: Alexandre Dumas has been placed up there in my opinion as one of the greats of all time. His plotline is so deep and thought provoking that I must say, this is one of the best books that I have ever read. Those of us that dream of revenge will love this book. The character of Dantes is developed to perfection as are his enemies. You want him to get them all. You want Dumas to hurry up and finish them already, but he keeps you hanging in there right up until the great ending. Highly recommended in my opinion - read it you'll love it.

Summary: Fantastic
Review: The Counte Of Monte Cristo is my favorite book. What a story of revenge and it is not all bad. Dante only hurts those who hurt him and in the process helps others the only thing that I did not like about the book was the end. It was to short and fast, but I think that if I could have my way the story would never end.

Summary: The ultimate story of revenge and forgiveness
Review: This is an excellent classic. I've read this book twice, and reread certain parts several times more. Full of rich, complete characters and fantastic subplots, this is a must read for everyone. The best Dumas book by far, it's simply outstanding.
