This is not as slow a burn as the page count indicates, but there's still a lot of filler and repetition (perhaps because it was originally serialized?). For example, the reader has so far been told (at great length) the truth of Dantès's betrayal three times: Once when it occured, once when deduced by the Abbé Faria, and now once when recounted by Caderousse.

It's interesting how Dantès ceased to be the sole focus of the plot (and narrative voice) after he became Count. It allowed so many interesting subplots to emerge.

Interesting to suddenly see the older Dantès from the viewpoint of a completely new character.
