The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre DumasMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
The ending was a little anti-climatic for me. Maybe it's because I was tainted by the Guy Pierce movie. I liked how the characters revolved around each other. It was very Hugo-esque. I wonder if this will lead me to the Three Musketeers in due time, but for now I'm still undecided on Dumas as a writer because Dumas as a person doesn't appease me. The Count is a classic and I do think it is a novel that MUST be read. I'm very surprised they don't teach it in school but kids are still forced to read Catcher in the Rye.
