The Count of Monte Cristo - Alexandre Dumas
Posted: 06 Aug 2017, 17:26
Hi!
Went back all the eight pages this topic consists of, and couldn't find dedicated to what I believe, in my opinion, to be the best book ever written in the history of literature: The Count of Montecristo (No doubt about that)
Well, so today, after a five day enjoyment in France and at times in Italy, along with one of the best known characters, I finally ended this brilliant, and breathtaking book. (Finally is not exactly a good word, because I regret having finished reading it). I don't have enough words to describe this masterpiece, because that's the only word I can use, nor the character of out hero, Edmond Dantes. I highly esteemed Alexandre Dumas after reading the Three Musketeers and the Man in the Iron Mask, but right now, I most profoundly admire him, I can even venture to say, I consider him a complete genius.
Every minute, every word, every chapter of this magnificent novel has enchanted me, under the spell of that person who becomes addicted to something and cannot stop 'reading'. What I like about this book is that it hooks you from the first moment, and putting down the book became an almost impossible task afterwards. And yes, I can say I enjoyed every minute of it. It's just a truly AMAZING book.
Has any of you read it? And if so, what were your thoughts on it?
