The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas 4.5 rounded down

[Karin]

Teetering at 4.5 stars

Evidently I didn't write a review when I reread this four years ago and I am very short on time today. Suffice it to say that this is the third time I have read it. There are many parts of this I love, but since there are a few parts that drag, it's 4 stars for me again. And by drag, I don't mean because if the many words used because this was written as a serial and Dumas was paid by the word, although a fe times that's it, but some scenes are rather boring for me even if they are important to the book as a while. One of the great things about a book this long is that there is plenty to forget so that after four years even though I knew all of the main things, I had forgotten many of the fabulous details.
