Count of Monte Cristo is great but it was a bit of a slog at times if I'm honest. Granted last time I read it it was for school and I had to plow through all 650 pages or so in less than a week because I put it off til the last second
Dude was paid by the word and it shows. On the bright side, the book is excellent- it's just a bit padded. I feel like it's one of the few books where I feel like an abridged version might be an improvement.
I really liked the Jim Caviezel movie adaptation
