Book Reviews of The Count of Monte Cristo (Bantam Classics)
Book Review: Listening to taped version was a great expereience.
Summary: 5 Stars
Just finished the unabridged, taped version of this classic. (From Books on Tape; 12 tapes). Make sure you get ahold of the full version, not an abridged one. This book had everything--revenge, love, suspense. For some reason, I don't seem to have read it when i was younger, nor do I recall having seen any of the movie versions. So this was a real treat for me. And one that I think just about anybody would likeBook Review: Makes readers out of Non-readers
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a high school English teacher. Over the years I've taught numerous novels, but only The Count of Monte Cristo do I never tire of teaching. It has the amazing ability of actually making students who say that they hate to read to suddenly want to read. Do you have a teenager who hates to read? Give him this 441 page abridgement. (Be prepared though for negative comments--he'll propably disclaim, "And you call 441 pages an ABRIDGED edition!") Next, make him agree to try it at least to page 66 (Dantes's escape from prison). By that point he'll be hooked for sureBook Review: An inspirational and exciting book without a doubt!
Summary: 5 Stars
Being a college student, I have read a plethora of books in my many subjects, but none has captivated me as much as this one. The thread of Edmond Dante's life is undeniably intertwixed with the common everyday struggle we all share. What makes this book so captivating is the strength Dante draws within himself, and how much he achieves after being jailed unjustly. The intrigue of his revenge was one of the more exciting plot twists.
A fantastic read for sure.Book Review: One of the best books ever written

Summary: 5 Stars
The Count of Monte Cristo is one of the most inspiring books I have ever read. I first read the book when I was thirteen, and I still would like to meet and talk with Alexander Dumas about his masterpiece today---it had that kind of effect on me. Today I pick up the book now and again just to read the Count's wonderful farewell letter to "the beloved children of [his] heart."
