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.

You reading the short one or the big boi? I read the short one as a kid but I haven't read the full one yet.

Didn't even know there is a short book of it. I'm reading the 3380 pages one. Lol

There is indeed an abridged. I remember it being good which is why I recently picked up the full version, but I haven't cracked into it yet.

Love the book. My favorite adaptation is the 1998 miniseries with Gerard Departieu before he became a complete idiot, Seagal style.
