The Count of Monte Cristo (AmazonClassics Edition)

By: Alexandre Dumas

Narrated by: Guy Mott

After fourteen years of wrongful imprisonment, merchant sailor Edmond Dantès escapes his grim island fortress. With the promises of youth erased and his betrothed now married to someone else, Dantès lives for one purpose: revenge. Thanks to a benevolent prison confidante who reveals the location of a hidden treasure, Dantès buys his way, unrecognized, into society. Adopting a new identity as the Count of Monte Cristo, he sets out to destroy the rivals who framed him for treason. But the count’s obsessive quest could have irrevocable consequences for the innocent - and for himself.

What unfolds is an epic tale of breathtaking intrigue and righteous retribution from Alexandre Dumas, the nineteenth-century master of high adventure.

A True Classic of Literature

A fantastic story, worth listening to. The accents for each character made it very easy to identify them, but sometimes were too forced and overbearing.

Thrilling Ride

This is an amazing story with fantastic narration! At times heart wrenching, at others inspiring and hopeful.

Great story

Very fun, each chapter is a complete story so it’s easy to break up such a long book. Though early on the book is harder to get through and the story progresses much fast towards the end so don’t get discouraged if you get confused with characters and who’s who, typically they get reintroduced and explained as they become relevant to the plot.

Long and enjoyable!

This book took me by surprise on how long it is ( I had not looked at that before I started) Although it was a time commitment, it was worth every second! I was on edge when I had to stop each time. I drive a Jeep and had the doors and side off with this blaring on my speakers. Haha!! I got some looks, but didn't care... It was not like the movie, but if you "read into" movies, like I do, you will not be disappointed by the detail given.

Story goes on and on and on

The story does not include the Count very much. Author spent way too much time developing secondary characters’ stories.

Can’t believe the word sepulcher was mispronounced several times.
