Audie Award, Solo Narration - Male, 2009

Dashing young Edmond Dantès has everything: a fine reputation, an appointment as captain of a ship, and the heart of a beautiful woman. But his perfect life is shattered when three jealous friends conspire to destroy him. Falsely accused of a political crime, Dantès is locked away for life in the infamous Chateau d'If prison. But it is there that Dantès learns of a vast hidden treasure. After 14 years of hopeless imprisonment, Dantès makes his daring escape and follows his secret map to untold fortune. Disguised now as the mysterious and powerful Count of Monte Cristo, Dantès seeks out his enemies - and nothing will stand in the way of his just revenge.

Filled with thrilling episodes of betrayal, romance, and revenge, The Count of Monte Cristo is one of the greatest adventure stories ever written.

Great way to enjoy a classic

Loved it, a very enjoyable way to experience a classic I would otherwise have missed, gripping narration, a perfect on the go companion, with so many twists and turns. A wonderful journey.

Excellent all around

This is one of my favorite books, I've read it a couple of times over. It is very thematically rich and complex, with a huge cast of characters and a convoluted revenge plot. It does get a bit slow around the second act, in my opinion, but overall it is easy to recommend.

Best book ever written.

Best story of revenge ever. I never get tired of listening to this book and listen to it about three times a year. The narrator is top notch.

a great classic

This is my all time favorite book. A wonderful melodramatic epic of revenge! This is one of those rare stories where when you get reach the bittersweet end you wonder in amazement at the journey from the tales beginning to where you are now.
