The Count of Monte Cristo [Abridged] by Alexandre Dumas
5.0
oh my god. AMAZINg
why did i let my english teachers make me think all classics are boring?
NO WAY.
This book is ACTIONPACKED from the beginning with romance, revenge, a weird Romeo-Juliet subplot, some super witty ripostes, and basically just amazingness. Also as a history buff the whole post Napoleonic setting is just awesome.
I used to hate classics before I read this. This really did change my mind and open up my view towards classics and I'm sure I'll be reading a lot more in the future.
Everyone needs to read this book. I'm astonished more high school literature classes aren't being taught this book - it is a high schooler's dream. Gossip Girl, but with murder!!!!! And so many fake aliases!!!! I love it I love it I love it.
