I love that book it is just well done and the movies leave alot out but all in all they do ok. They do get the main point out but they change the story from the book too much.

Who's read the count of monte cristo. I must say, although it seems that it never it ends. its one of the best books i've ever read. I havn't seen the movie and currently on about page 750. and i must say, goodness, i love it. On of the best plots i've ever seen. I love how all the characters are slowly introduced and then intertwined.
Please discuss WITHOUT spoilers plx. i just wanna see your guys' imput on the book.

And you may call me "V"

Depends on how serious you wanna make it but I found the movie entertaining, didnt feel as tho I wasted my time. I wouldnt try and compare the book vs movie it just isnt right, the books > movie tho if you must know.

I'm also currently in the middle of reading The Count--it is NOTHING like the movie at all. There is NO possible way any movie could capture all the plot lines that are going through it--I'm enjoying it a lot.
