Il Conte di Montecristo è la storia.
Per quanto possa impegnarmi a voler scrivere più di così, non mi viene in mente niente che non risulti superfluo, o che renda giustizia ad Edmond Dantes.

Note to self: write a review that comes close to doing this book justice someday.

For me, this is the book of books. Probably should not be reviewing it, though, since it was the first "real" book I ever read. My father bought it for me on my eighth birhday, along with Wild's fairytales. Obviously, it was a different edition, in a different language. It was the unabridged edition in greek. If you are going to read it,or have your child read it, make sure you get the whole story. You don't want to waste this wonderful book on a few carefully sanitized highlights. The plot, the characters, the words, all deserve better than this.
And I just got caught carried away. Never review what you love, won't come out right. Only thing to say is, if you are looking for a first "adult" book to give to your child, this is the one. There is no turning back after that. Thank you, dad.

AMAZING!!!!
But super long, and some of the romance elements were... questionable.
Loved the Robin Buss translation!!
Read as physical book

No other words to say but amazing!
The heaviest use of deus ex machina anywhere with emotional manipulation and the entanglement of love and hatred leading one man to control everything in his path!
It is something to read twice to fully understand and appreciate Dumas' exquisite writing!

Tutta la saggezza umana sarà contenuta in queste due parole: attendere e sperare!
Ed io attendo e spero che, presto, troverò un libro in grado di emozionarmi tanto quanto è riuscito a fare Il Conte di Montecristo.
Il mio viaggio con Edmond finisce qui ma lo porterò sempre nel mio cuore.

I listened to this as an audiobook and I probably wouldn’t again- the storytelling is rich and I would have gotten more from it as a physical book. In all honestly, I may have fallen asleep through a few chapters.
