I love this book! it's long but dense, it's trashy but it's also high art, it's tragic but it's also inspirational. I'm glad Dumas was paid by the word, because it means he wrote as much. You should check out the musketeers books if you haven't already, I think Count is a stronger book but they're all written in the same engrossing style.
Thank you. I'm eying the three musketeers next
Having read both, I recommend the three musketeers, but don't expect it to be quite as good as the count of Monte Christo
I already have it on my Kobo, it might be next, you never know. I try to read fiction then nonfiction then fiction and so on. I might make an exception this time.
Just the first book or the series? All "3" are fairly long between them
I have one book that is 1100 pages
Book three is so massive it's usually split up into between 3-5 volumes, in total it has 268 chapters
You are saying the three musketeers is 3 books?
Technically three, in reality it's generally sold as between 5-7
