crpettit's review against another edition
There is just so much of this story that seems unnecessary. Who cares that he owned the winning horse that ne named after an acquaintance?

Surprisingly nuanced female characters and a well described, intricate plot! However, I wanted to be in the mind of Dantes during his revenge journey and I was kept at a distance. I also thought the book was too long. I also didn’t like the surprise sexual assault in the story within a story chapter towards the beginning.
Graphic: Murder
Moderate: Sexual assault, Suicide, and Suicidal thoughts
Minor: Animal cruelty and Child death
