Georges is a WONDERFUL story of swashbuckling, retribution, redemption, romance, ethics (slavery), men of valor, island living (I know that doesn't go with the rest but I love to read books that are based on some tropical isle), etc.

Being a man of color, it is the only book that Dumas writes wherein he visits the race issue.

Can't believe this isn't as popular and well known as other of Dumas' books. Great translation. Loved it! All thumbs up! Oh, and much easier (shorter) read than The Three Musketeers or The Count of Monte Cristo.
