Another fantastic classic author, Alexandre Dumas won my heart not with his dashing Musketeers or iron masks but through the life of a Count. The Count of Monte Cristo is perhaps one of the best books I have ever had the pleasure of reading. It is so wonderfully rich in tale, culture, and mystery that it is impossible to put down. It is an adventure like no other I have yet come across and there is something undeniably romantic in its style of writing. The infamous Edmond Dauntes is such a thorughly well drawn out and individualistically tempered character that he holds the readers attention and respect throughout the book.
This book published in 1846 has not been called, "The greatest tale of betrayal, adventure, and revenge ever written" for no reason. I would recommend this book to absolutely anyone. It is simply excellence!
