After enjoying [The Three Musketeers]({{< ref "three-musketeers.md" >}}) so much
|
|
a few years ago, I have been meaning to read another of Alexandre Dumas' books.
|
|
I settled on The Count of Monte Cristo for its popularity though I have never
|
|
seem a movie adaptation of it.
|
|
|
|
I found it good, brilliant even during all the beginning. I loved all the
|
|
setting and atmosphere and the characters. The whole injustice, imprisonment,
|
|
teaching and escape were incredible but I found the middle of the book quite
|
|
boring and I had trouble finding the motivation to continue reading. My interest
|
|
picked up near the end so I won't say it is a bad book... but it is clearly
|
|
dated.
