4.5- I listened to the Audiobook, and after 46 hours I understand why so many people like this book. The only complaint is that it is too long, while I understand why it was written this way, it was so much information to take in. The revenge overall happened at such a good pace, seeing how well Edmond started this domino game with all those who harmed him was worth the wait. I came to the book from the movie, I expected there to be much more than what the movie could have shown and I fell into a copy of the audiobook. I will say I think I would have felt the same about the length that I do with the audiobook, but If I have another chance to read a physical copy of the book I would probably try that as well.
