About this listen

"A piece of perfect storytelling." (Robert Louis Stevenson)

Trust. Betrayal. Revenge. The Count of Monte Cristo is the quintessential masterpiece of Alexandre Dumas. In Edmond Dantes we find an early materialization of the modern superhero. He is a dashing young sailor imprisoned unjustly for treason. While in prison he meets a holy man who imparts to him all his wisdom of languages, philosophy, science, and literature. The "abbe" also divulges the profound secret of a hidden treasure. Dantes realizes that with such immense wealth one could do a generous amount of good for one's friends. On the other hand, one could also wreak a hateful vengeance on one's enemies.

Now freed from prison, and armed with untold riches, a wealth of intelligence, and a countenance utterly unrecognizable, Dantes fulfills his vow to wreak complete and utter revenge on those who conspired against him.

This unabridged version of Count of monte Cristo lasts 50 long hours, I like it firstly because of the fact that it’s unabridged, loyal to the original.

The Narrator played every sing character, imitated their respective accent and personalities according to the setting of each chracrer.

The book was emotional, and the narrator was as well emotional, bringing all characters to life. I finished it in a few months, for the sake of studying( while reading the book alongside with the audiobook), and I it is the best audible book I’ve ever downloaded.

Recommend without hesitation!

I drive for a living and it took more than 2 weeks to finish. It was a very good 2 weeks.

Always a classic.

listening to this book became such a chore, the detail of conversations amongst minor characters was unnecessary and dragged it out for far too long. Edmond was a sympathetic character to begin with, but as the Count he was cold, calculating and cruel. Finishing this novel was an exercise in grim determination, it would be greatly improved by an enthusiastic editor wielding a large red marker.

what an ordeal
