For many years, I’ve read comments about how the Count of Monte Cristo was one of the best books ever written. And after having read it, I wholeheartedly agree. So I encourage everyone to read this book as you will not be disappointed.
My only caution is that I would make sure to pick a version with a good translation. The original was written in French and the Kindle version I read appears to have been translated by an automated service, with maybe some manual human intervention. In any case, some of the sentence structures are flat out bizarre and confusing. In reading other reviews, I am told that the Penguin Classic translation is much, much better and after reading the examples provided, I see it is better. Spend the extra money for a better version. It’s well worth it.

The Count of Monte Cristo audiobook Series The Seaside Library
The first third of the book starts out fast and exciting. You really feel for Dantes as all these awful things happen to him simply because of jealousy and corruption. The second third of the book kinda lost me for a bit. I even had to put it down for a couple months. Essentially Monte Cristo is planning and scheming his revenge on the people who betrayed him, but it isn’t really clear what he’s doing. Then the final third of the book kicks into high gear and the revenge plot unfolds and all you can do is keep reading page after page until the end. Excellent!

Audiobook The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
In the end, it’s the beginning. Just be in the mix of selfish people who wronged you and let them use you as a catalyst for their demise and wind up marrying a young, beautiful, exotic princess. Sounds like a plan.

Audio The Count of Monte Cristo narrated by Bill Homewood
DISCLAIMER: I am an American, college-educated male in my mid-20’s. I understand that my life experiences are different from others’, and my reviews and opinions reflect the upbringing I’ve had. The point of each of my reviews is not so much to provide a synopsis of the story or an in-depth literary look at the work itself, but to convey my overall impression of the book, as well as the feelings/attitudes I experienced while reading and the thoughts the book provoked. There are NO SPOILERS in any of my reviews, so read on without fear!

Edmond Dantes is as happy as a young man can be. He has just completed a successful voyage. Unfortunately the captain of the ship died during the trip but because of the way Edmond brought the ship safely home, the owner of the ship, Mr Morrel, has told him that he will become the captain. He is off to see his beloved father and his soon to be wife, the lovely Mercedes, both of whom are waiting for him. He has everything in life to look forward to.
But like the snake in the Garden of Eden, there is one who is jealous of his good fortune, Mr Danglers, whose every hope in life is made of avarice. Edmond Dantes is a pure, happy soul who has aroused hatred in Danglers, who is is jealous of his good fortune in being named captain. It would seem that Danglers would envy and take all happiness away from Dantes, just because Danglers is not capable of truly feeling happiness and contentment himself. So he devises a plot to rob young Edmond Dantes of every bit of happiness.
There is another young man who is envious of Edmond Dantes because he has the love of the beautiful Mercedes. This is Mercedes’ cousin, Fernand, who wants Mercedes for himself.
There is another that envies Dantes simply out of avarice. This is the man, Caderrouse, who wears the mask of friendship. He is the type of man who can never have enough and despite the fact that Edmond and his father have little, Caderrouse wants it.
This trio, Danglers, Fernand and Caderrouse gather together to plot the destruction of Edmond Dantes.
This story takes place in France during the exile of Napoleon Bonaparte to the
Island of Elba. The country is still very much divided between royalists and Bonapartists. The diabolical trio decides to frame poor young Dantes as a Bonapartist, working to bring Napoleon back to power. During what was going to be the homecoming and the marriage celebration, Dantes is placed under arrest and taken away, without any explanation. He is brought before a man named Villefort, a royalist in a very tenuous position as his father was a staunch Bonapartist. When he realizes that the evil lies concocted by the diabolical trio against Dantes may implicate his father and in turn him, he takes steps to ensure that Edmond Dantes will never again see the light of day. Soon poor, innocent Dantes is bound for the Chateau d’If, a horrible prison surrounded by water that those who enter never leave alive. There appears to be no further happiness possible for Edmond Dantes.
I feel like I am unable to escape the writing of Alexandre Dumas. It is a very long, melodramatic, action packed adventure. I have enjoyed every word although some surrender to the abridged version. I have heard it said that Dumas was paid by the word. That may well be but I enjoyed every word. It is filled with swashbuckling. This book is an entertaining, exciting classic even if it may not be great literature. We get to see an innocent Edmond Dantes fall into the depths only to rise as an avenging angel known as the Count of Monte Cristo!
