Would you consider the audio edition of The Count of Monte Cristo to be better than the print version?

Nice synopsis of a very, very long book. Great narration and characterization. It really held my interest. I listened to it in a single sitting.

I plan on listening to it again. I’m sure I didn’t get most of the story. I had a hard time keeping track of all the caricatures.

You have to give it your full attention.

I know this book is supposed to be a classic, but having read it for the first time I dont understand why. Maybe in its time it brought something new to the art of storytelling, I just dont know, but it seemed like a really bad soap opera.

Classic?

I know this was a revised version of the book … but it’s missing so much! & it’s so hard to follow with all the characters & their Title names! Just take the time to listen to the original 52 hour book … or better yet… watch the Movie!

Watch the Movie instead!
