Seth N. (cider-house) reviewed The Count of Monte Cristo (abridged) (Barnes Noble Classics Series) on + 4 more book reviews
Ever since Musketeers, Dumas instantly became one of my top 5 authors. The good thing about the abridged version is that its perfect for kids or adults with litle time to spare. Swashbuckling action and sizzling Romance make this a book that works for both guys and gals. The beauty of Hugo is that he always put in something for everyone.

This is one of my favorite books. Even though I saw the movie first, the book was not a dissapointment.

One of the greatest books of all time, and one of my top five.
