The Count of Monte Cristo Kindle Edition
A popular bestseller since its publication in 1844, The Count of Monte Cristo is one of the great page-turning thrillers of all time. Set against the tumultuous years of the post-Napoleonic era, Alexandre Dumas’s grand historical romance recounts the swashbuckling adventures of Edmond Dantès, a dashing young sailor falsely accused of treason. The story of his long imprisonment, dramatic escape, and carefully wrought revenge offers up a vision of France that has become immortal. As Robert Louis Stevenson declared, “I do not believe there is another volume extant where you can breathe the same unmingled atmosphere of romance.”

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant
Don't you just love revenge! Especially when the person or people deserve it. From start to finish although a long book, mind you no size of book has ever put me off I enjoyed this book start to finish.I recommend it as a good intro to Dumas. Once you read this you'll want to read all his other books but it would be hard to beat this
