The Count of Monte Cristo
by: Alexander Dumas
Historical Drama, Fiction, and Adventure Fiction.
In 1815, after the fall of the Napoleon empire, in Paris a sailor names Edmond Dantès with a bright future arrives at a harbor. He is a candidate for promotion to captain, he is marrying a beautiful girl, and he is young. However 3 men corrupt with greed have another thing waiting for him. Watch and see as you read a book with a dramatical mood that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The themes of revenge, perseverance, justice, and judgment will astound you.
My favorite thing about the book was the drama. From the very first few chapters I was addicted. Through ought the whole week I reached for the book at every spare moment. My family thought that I was crazy for disappearing into Edmond Dantès's life and revenge story.
What I remember most about the book is the chapter where he is betrayed by people who he didn't know not to trust. I remember the scene where he is confronted and taken from his very own wedding. The surprises in the drama are what is needed to carry on the book. If you reread it the story might not give the same experience. Instead the second time you read it will be an eye opener because of how much foresight and clues as to what would happen is written. Viewers and readers should get and read this book because of the wonderful story it tells on the revenge and bitterness that is Edmond's reality.
I would recommend this book to people who are in love with drama. You need to be able to understand complex emotions, plots, hints, and words. This is because the book has so many plots, emotions, and they are all portrayed with only words. The reader of this book also can't be afraid of the length of the book or the level of it. The book is long but only because so many things can't be put into little words.
