Yes, it’s really good if you like classic literature (which I do lol)
Read it as a kid and loved the movie. ??
I own the ebook now but I’d rather have a physical copy
I read all my books on kindle 🙂
Not me! But I honestly well take what gets to me faster if I’m passionate about reading a new book. Waitlisted? Bam check overdrive.
Read it in college. Fell in love with both the book and Dumas. Then read The Three Musketeers. Dumas used to b my absolute favourite back then.
One of my all-time favorites. Be sure to watch “The Shawshank Redemption” after you read it.
Yes, it’s great but very long. I think if I didn’t already know the overall story from the movie, I would’ve gotten overwhelmed.
One of the best adventures stories ever. Read it at least six times
I’m reading it right now
Yes, I have. I read it in 1976, a great book for me as a young boy. Again and again till I dreamed of being the Count. Hoping it may come true someday. Same year I read the Papillon.
Yes about 10 years ago, I loved it one day I’ll get around to rereading it
??
Is that the porn version of the count of monte cristo?
fixed it lol
My sister just bought it for me ?
oh wow it looks so big! I have it on my kindle, so i’m not very intimidated by the “thickness” ! lol
It is quite thick, I think it’ll take me a long time to read it.
I have and one of my favourite classic.
One of my favorite classics!
I read it for my English class ?
I love the story and enjoy the movie, I tried very hard to read the book. Made it about halfway through and then gave up. Someone told me that some translations are easier to read than others, so I may try again at some point with a different version.
Yes, wonderful story!
One of my all time favorites.
One of my favorites!?
Yes and I loved it! it’s my favorite classic
Love love love it.
I did, years ago. It took a long time to get through but I really liked it.
✋? tbh the movie is better it is a hard book to follow but pretty good still
yup…..and the movie adaptation also….
I want to read it, who did the best translation?
@Bonnie best translation is by Robin Buss
@Stacey thank you.
Hated it. So so so much. Read the unabridged version in high school.
I haven’t but I already saw the movie (the movie was played in class so I have no choice but to see the movie first before reading the book ?)
Several times! A favorite!
I loved it!
I love it as well! Every time I read it!
Yes, it’s awesome.
My favorite book in 7th grade! Not sure how it would stand up now. Keep us posted!
Of course!
Yes. It is well worth reading.
One of favorites
Yes, terrific!
I am reading it right now. This is my first time reading The Count of Monte Cristo. I am only at chapter 6 so I can’t give a review, but first impressions are that it is a good book. It is very readable (I have the Robin Buss translation) and the chapters are short so the plot seems to move quickly.
I want to read it.
Loved it!
Excellent book!
Yes, an amazing book.
It is on my TBR list.
whts tbr
One of my favorites for sure ! ❤️❤️❤️
Yes, I like it some.
What nderful book.
Yes, wonderful book that hasn’t been filmed correctly yet
Read it years ago and really enjoyed it!
♥️♥️
First read it in the late 40’s..as a pre teenager.. reread it immediately.. and often since..have gifted it often.. never, ever an abridged version..
yes
(Resisting urge to channel Groucho Marx.)
Terrific book
I listened to it as audiobook on librivox in french…a great novel
Alexandre Dumas is one of my favorite authors! My favorite is The Black Tulip.
Uh oh, TBR.
Love the book!
Just be absolutely certain that you are reading a non abridgement. I read it and the book SAID “unabridged” but it was totally abridged and wow, so much didn’t make sense! The actual version is a giant book.
There are many “appropriate” copies – this one is a Robin Buss translation, here is the cover and the last page of the table of contents showing the proper number of chapters
great cover!
@Rosemary I bought the unabridged copy from kindle, it has a man on the cover
Check the number of chapters
Rosemary Thomas 117 chapters
I think that’s correct. Have fun!! I would love an ebook – did you get it on Amazon?
Oh wait, hangon, you already said Kindle. Can you link to it?
@Rosemary I got it at Best Buy, but it’s an amazon kindle paper white ?? it’s perfect
Haha I didn’t word that properly,lol. I meant the book! I also love my paperwhite!!
And, I found the exact version of my paper copy –
https://www.amazon.com/Count-Monte-Cristo-Penguin-Classics-ebook/dp/B002RI9KL8/ref=sr_1_4?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1524457236&sr=1-4&keywords=count+of+monte+cristo
@Rosemary mine was $.99c lol
Can you link to it?
My fav!
I’ve read it twice
Total awesome sauce! I recommend the abridged version by Signet Classics.
Loved it!
A long, long, long, long time ago. Wasn’t impressed so never revisted.
Wonderful book!
Yes along time ago. Loved it at the time
One of my all time favorites and was a catalyst for love of reading today! Enjoy!
