The Count of Monte Cristo (Enriched Classics)

Pocket, 2004

ABRIDGED version of the classic story, good resources in back
I am reviewing the Pocket Books Enriched Classics version of the novel The Count of Monte Cristo. At about chapter 30, I was hooked on the story and reading reviews and doing research on it. At that point I discovered the Pocket Books version is an ABRIDGED version with about 70 chapters. The real version has around 117 chapters. This frustrated me immensely because nowhere on the Pocket ...

Of revenge and redemption
The Count of Monte Cristo was a Superhero long before Superheros were cool. A 19th-century cross between James Bond, Batman, Zoro, and Dirty Harry, the title character is a seemingly all powerful and all knowing master of all trades, whether languages, art, chemistry, disguise, psychology, philosophy, theology, international relations, literature, protocol, diplomacy, or combat. But he is ...

Blackstone Audiobooks, Inc., 2008

Which Translation Is It?
Bottom Line: Blackstone's audio version is the Lorenzo Carcaterra translation. The same as you would read if you were to purchase "The Count of Monte Cristo" (Modern Library Classics) (Paperback) from Amazon.com I actually haven't listened to this book yet, so I didn't want to rate it too high or too low. What I *did* want to do, however, was share some information with others who are ...

The Count of Monte Cristo: Abridged Edition (Dover Value Editions)

Dover Publications, 2007

Terrible Translation
The Count of Monte Cristo is my favorite novel (the unabridged Robin Buss translation), so I ordered 40 of these books to read to my summer school class. This Dover Edition is based on the antiquated English traslation from about 100 years ago, and it shows. The jaw-breaker sentences and intimidating vocabulary offended even a word-nerd like myself. On top of that, there are many typos in ...

The perfect tale of revenge & redemption
This is one of the thickest books I've ever read, and it was worth every page. Don't be daunted by the size, the complete, unabridged Count of Monte Cristo is not just one of the best adventure stories ever written, but one of the best stories period. The simplicity of the story conceals everything the story has to say about life; the expectations, disappointments, despairs, hatreds, loves, joys ...

Falsely accused of treason, the young sailor Edmond Dantes is arrested on his wedding day and imprisoned on an island fortress. After years of solitary confinement in a cramped, dank dungeon, he befriends an Italian prisoner who, with his dying breath, reveals the location of a vast treasure on the island ...

Great copy of unabridged Count of Monte Cristo
We only recently found out that all our copies of The Count of Monte Cristo were abridged. We checked this out of our local library and liked it so much we bought a copy for our home library. The type setting is very readable and best of all, it's not abridged. The story is a classic and a great read. I recommend it for everyone.

A must read!
Simply put, I love this book. What a great book to introduce to students interested in historical adventures, and this one is spot on. It's one of the great adventure novels, with lots of action, well-written characters, important issues, and can be read quickly because of its compelling storyline. Also, there is the deception factor,which makes for great storytelling, but in this case the ...

Advertisement needs to be clear.
We thought we were purchasing the unabridged edition. We did not see any mention that it was not what we thought. Then, when we received it, it turned out to be an abridged edition, which was disappointing. Other than that, it was fine.

Dumas'Classic Tale Of Intrigue And Adventure
Alexandre Dumas, author of "The Three Musketeers" and the "Man In the Iron Mask", has given the literary world the adventure novel, forever bringing it to the level of the classic. The Count of Monte Cristo is mainly a story of revenge. The Romanticism in which the novel is characterized and the Napoleonic France for the setting, sets the mood for this nearly psychologically thrilling story that ...

Best Book I've Ever Read
Alexandre Dumas is a pure genius! He ties you up in the plot so well and his thrilling tale will not let you down. I only wish that the translator had not left out the certain parts he had. (Fortunately, there's an explanation of the events that are left out). I highly recommend this book to EVERYONE!

Action-Packed Read
I chose to read the abridged version of this novel first even though I also own the unabridged version. I know that other reviewers have posted that this version is missing many scenes, but it really didn't seem to matter. The story is wonderful and so action-packed that I couldn't put the book down. If you've seen the movie, you don't know the whole story. There is so much more to it and a movie ...
