Barnes & Noble Classics, 2004

A must read!
Simply put, I love this book. What a great book to introduce to students interested in historical adventures, and this one is spot on. It's one of the great adventure novels, with lots of action, well-written characters, important issues, and can be read quickly because of its compelling storyline. Also, there is the deception factor,which makes for great storytelling, but in this case the ...

Of revenge and redemption
The Count of Monte Cristo was a Superhero long before Superheros were cool. A 19th-century cross between James Bond, Batman, Zoro, and Dirty Harry, the title character is a seemingly all powerful and all knowing master of all trades, whether languages, art, chemistry, disguise, psychology, philosophy, theology, international relations, literature, protocol, diplomacy, or combat. But he is ...

Fantastic edition - like color vs black & white
I have loved this book since I read it as an assigned book in high school. I managed to keep my Scholastic abridged version, but when it started to come apart, I searched for a replacement. I bought another copy from a local bookstore, and found that many of the important plot lines had been changed in the different abridgment (and possibly translation too). I found this copy, purchased it, and ...

Difficult to read but well worth it.
How does one review a classic? Especially one so noteworthy as to have demanded the creation of 11 or more film variations, numerous adaptations, and even television series? I long avoided reading this novel due mainly to it's daunting size, and the fear that it's translation would cause the reader more work than I was willing to put into it. However my burning desire to know the true tale of ...

ABRIDGED version of the classic story, good resources in back
I am reviewing the Pocket Books Enriched Classics version of the novel The Count of Monte Cristo. At about chapter 30, I was hooked on the story and reading reviews and doing research on it. At that point I discovered the Pocket Books version is an ABRIDGED version with about 70 chapters. The real version has around 117 chapters. This frustrated me immensely because nowhere on the Pocket ...

Pretty much the coolest book ever
This is one of my favorite books ever written. Forget the deeply philosophical books that all the intellectuals like to pretend to enjoy. This is a great, exciting, fun read that has just enough psychology and spirituality to add to the flavor and keep the character believable. I have yet to see a movie version of this book that does it proper justice. This is a deeply twisted plot with ...

Terrible Translation
The Count of Monte Cristo is my favorite novel (the unabridged Robin Buss translation), so I ordered 40 of these books to read to my summer school class. This Dover Edition is based on the antiquated English traslation from about 100 years ago, and it shows. The jaw-breaker sentences and intimidating vocabulary offended even a word-nerd like myself. On top of that, there are many typos in ...

Action-Packed Read
I chose to read the abridged version of this novel first even though I also own the unabridged version. I know that other reviewers have posted that this version is missing many scenes, but it really didn't seem to matter. The story is wonderful and so action-packed that I couldn't put the book down. If you've seen the movie, you don't know the whole story. There is so much more to it and a movie ...

Dumas'Classic Tale Of Intrigue And Adventure
Alexandre Dumas, author of "The Three Musketeers" and the "Man In the Iron Mask", has given the literary world the adventure novel, forever bringing it to the level of the classic. The Count of Monte Cristo is mainly a story of revenge. The Romanticism in which the novel is characterized and the Napoleonic France for the setting, sets the mood for this nearly psychologically thrilling story that ...

Masterfully Erotic!
Colette Gale stunned erotic romance readers with her book Unmasked, an erotic version of the classic, The Phantom of the Opera. She has done it once again with Master, An Erotic Novel of The Count of Monte Cristo. If you are a big fan of the most recent and romantic movie version of this classic story, you will have to overlook this newly erotic written version and realize that Ms. Gale has once ...

Exelente herramienta para defender tu Fe
Lo leei en Ingles y me gusto tanto que lo he recomendado y regalado. En esta investigacion personal de Lee Strobel demuestra como de ser un ateo se convirtio en un creyente reconociendo que Cristo es Dios, no por sentimientos o emociones pero por data. Estoy muy contento de que este traducido en el Español porque los latinos carecemos de material como este que nos enseña a defender nuestra fe ...
