A review by theelliad
The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
3.5
I have finally reached the end of this mammoth and it’s safe to say I am not a big book girlie yet!
This was insanely difficult to rate as on the one hand I really liked the plot and a lot of the writing style, but it was just too long. Had this book been half or even a third of the size I feel like it would have been a 5* read but there was simply too many passages I zoned out of to overlook!
That said I am glad I read this and I would definitely be interested in some other Dumas books (hopefully shorter ones) as he writes brilliantly!
Bonus points as well for the cuntified voices on the audiobook I very much enjoyed those!
