Wow !!!!! Great book !!!!!!! I saw a film first and after that I read it.When I was reading it I felt like a friend of the Count and wanted to say to him that so much money don't have to be spent lead by anger and revenge.The entire book is the best.

I loved The Count of Monte Cristo. Definitely one of my favorite books of all time.

It definetly is one of Dumas's best - and I'm kind of a fan! No film version will ever come close to it. The book left a somewhat cloudy and adventuresomely feeling in my head when I had finished it!
Stephen Fry has written a modern day version of the book - by far less haunting, but interesting:

And you should at any rate read Dumas's Joseph Balsamo - it's even better than Count of Monte Christo:

It scared me simply because of the number of chapters, I read it when I was 14. Never thought I could wade through that pile of pages. But, I got hooked.... I'm 57 now, going to find a copy of my own and re-read it. Thank you for re-kindling a great memory...

Yes. It is the ultimate revenge story. I was emotionally spent after I read it in three different languages.

Yes and it is one of my favorite books. The ending is happy and sad at the same time.
