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.

Lol I was gonna be a dick and ruin the ending, "SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE" style, but I won't. tongue.gif

It's probably one of the better books out there, but I'll agree, it's dragged on and on. I hate those kinds of books because the climax and ending can have a huge impact on if it was a worthwhile read. Most books in general are good reads.

i liked it, but it wasnt really unique. it was just another story of impossibly perfect revenge.

the movie would of been better if it was perhaps release more recently, however the movie does not live up to the full effect of the book. The book is drawn out, but not in a bad way, it doesnt get to the point of why am i reading this, and the end lives up to your expectations. I found the end of the movie leaving less emotion then the book, abut thats just me smile.gif
