About this listen

 The Count of Monte Cristo is an adventure novel by Alexandre Dumas.

Published in 1844, it is often considered one of the great thrillers of all time and, along with The Three Musketeers, Dumas' most popular work.

Falsely accused of treason, the young sailor Edmund Dantes is arrested on his wedding day and imprisoned in the island fortress of the Chateau d'If. After staging a dramatic escape, he sets out to discover the treasure of Monte Cristo and catch up with his enemies.

Alexandre Dumas (1802 - 1870) was a French writer, best known for his numerous historical novels of high adventure, which have made him one of the most widely read French authors in the world.

I saw the early 2000s film long ago and loved it. I would say the ending in the film is more "neat ribbon".This story is so engaging and socially grandiose. I found the dialogue slightly overly descriptive at times, but I'm probably not used to the French style. Delivery of the voice actor was broad and present. He only stammered rarely, and only in the final chapter. Unlucky.

Pretty great

It not called a classic for nothing. The Count of Monte Cristo is Such an epic and engrossing tale full of sub stories. If you have not had the pleasure of reading before, do so now, you won't be disappointed.

If you have not yet read this then do NOW

Narrator keeps losing his place and mispronouncing words.

Also begins every chapter with "and now we come to chapter x of alexander dumas book the count of monte cristo in which ... happens" which really breaks the flow of the story

Narrator has a good voice but performs poorly
