Holy shit! This book is insane. I'm half way through it, and I can't even express how I feel about this book. Masterpiece? Doesn't give it justice. I've never done this in my life over a book (and I've read well over 500 books for the last 30 years), I got emotional during some parts of this book. I have ADHD and it's very hard for me to focus when reading, unless it's an extremely good book like this I guess. This probably sounds silly to some. The reason why I'm only just finding out about this book is because I'm new to the West. An immigrant if you will, and never heard of this book until a couple of weeks ago. If you haven't read this book; I highly recommend it. Alexandre Dumas is a genius.

I love the book already. I don't think I'll have the literate capacity to write a whole opinion on the book. I don't know what you call that, but I'm that person who can't fully (or to a satisfactory level) articulate whatever on his mind into speech/writing, and it's very frustrating.

Hey no pressure, if you remember to drop an "I liked it!", that's all I meant. :)

I just finished it and I'm so sad that it finished :( That book was amazing.

I think the ending is awesome too! Glad you liked it. It's just as good the second time through, just give it a year or so. :)

The ending was so damn satisfying. I freaking loved it. Next time, I'll read it in English. So now I'm debating between two books, Moby-Dick or a nonfiction called "manufacturing consent" by Noam Chomski 🤔
