This is one of my favorite books ever written. Forget the deeply philosophical books that all the intellectuals like to pretend to enjoy. This is a great, exciting, fun read that has just enough psychology and spirituality to add to the flavor and keep the character believable.
I have yet to see a movie version of this book that does it proper justice. This is a deeply twisted plot with surprising, wonderful characters and the right amount of juicy action and melodrama, but all believable. ... Read More

Dear prospective Count of Monte Cristo buyer,
Having read and loved the abridged version of TCOMT, I expected the extra 800 odd pages of this version to be endless dissertations on armory and town history. Not so!

This Penguin Classics version of what is in my opinion is the best book of all time.
The translator even includes a chapter where Edmond returns to the Chateau de If to get a sign from God that what he was doing was just.
Please if you have never read this book, buy this particular translation and, do not get the abridged. Why cheat yourself?
This is such a wonderful story of love, and revenge.

I couldn't put the book down for the first 300 pages. It pretty much has everything - wit, wisdom, an interesting plot and a bit of History. It didn't get a five star rating because it seemed like it was a different author with a totally different style in the middle section and picked up back again at the last part.
I understand this is a good translation of the book.

As people have always said, life is not fair. It's up to people to have the courage to give everyone, including the former fiancee what they have comming to them. I think everyone should be required to read this book, because quite simply its the best novel ever written.
