This is my second book by Alexander Dumas - my introduction to this author was first made by The Three Musketeers, which remains a favorite to this very day!
This French Classic is THE best, THE most entertaining, THE most patient and well thought out revenge story I have ever read. I finally decided to tackle this beast when a few channels I watch on YouTube hosted a 3 month long readalong for it.
I will also mention that I listened to this one on audiobook, narrated by John Lee, which was amazing. John Lee made this story come to life and I really just enjoyed his voice. I tried to read some of it physically and couldn't make it. The audiobook is the way to go!
We follow the character Dantes - we meet him as a young man who is hard working, well liked and loved by his employer and fellow sailors, about to marry the love of his life: Dantes has everything going for him. Until a jealous admirer of Dantes' fiance takes it upon himself to follow through with a plot to get Dantes out of the way of another sailor who wanted his position on the ship he works on.
Dantes is arrested and falsely accused and we spend the next several YEARS as Dantes lays down intricate plans to get revenge on all those who were involved. It was perfection. Absolute perfection. Will definitely reread in the future!
