Dang your transition sounds scared the crap out of me LOL. I'm 55% into this book and I'm loving every second of it. There's literally not a dull moment!
For as long as the book is, there is very little filler. Everything is important and if you re-read the book, you get a clearer view why certain things are mentioned in certain chapters .
@@DarkcIoud1111 there is sooo much filler. Most of Italy and Paris is just filler. Italy was very fun and exciting and I really loved it but Paris drags on WAY TOO LONG.
I think this was the best century for literature. You've got Joesph Conrad, Emily Bronte, Alexandre Dumas, Jane Austen, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Leo Tolstoy, Oscar Wilde... the list really does just go on and on. It was a true renaissance era for books. I think the enlightenment era gave artists a whole new wealth of concepts to draw from and they took advantage of that in the best of ways.
@@richardbenitez1282 none that I’ve read. There are other such a war and peace and in search of lost time which were massive and I genuinely liked. However I prefer the count of Monte Cristo to all of them.
1300 pages in one of the most ruthless tirades of the book: "Crois-tu que j’aime être le Comte de Monte Cristo ? C’est un homme terrible, impitoyable et froid. Mais ce n’est pas moi qui ai voulu devenir cet homme-là. Moi, il me suffisait d’être Edmond Dantès, je n’attendais rien d’autre de la vie, mais ils m’en ont empêché. Eh bien, tant pis pour eux."
I love this book, I'm glad you liked it! I'm a sucker for revenge stories, the theme of a character perhaps getting consumed by his revenge and losing themselves is just so intriguing to me. Musketeers is great, too, lots of fun & adventures.
You're the second person I think I've seen on booktube this year giving this book a really great review. You've re-inspired me to put it up. I got the audiobook version a few months back.
"The count of monte-cristo" shows us that our schools have consequences, Villefort, Danglars and Mondego have nothing to complain about what happened to them and their families, even if they do not had not yet planned as a result of their decisions. You cannot escape the consequences by avoiding them. By choosing something and therefore affirming its value, we communicate simultaneously to everyone. Danglars, Mondego and Villefort explained to Dantes that it was lawful to use lies, fraud and all the tricks in their choices after all they used with him. Edmond Dantes only applied their logic to them in his revenge. The book leaves a warning that your choices have consequences and that by changing the standards of values, they can be used against you. It is not to summarize the book in the villains being punished and the good are rewarded, but that our actions have consequences. The Count in his revenge had to deal with unexpected consequences in his revenge as the death of Edoard. A warning that our choices can have unexpected effects and even if we do not plan, we are responsible.
Edward was on his way to being another Benedetto. De Villefort could have prevented every bit of those poisonings and Dantes took too much responsibility for the poisoning that was going to happen anyway. Dantes didn’t talk her into poisoning. He only provided more education.
👍👍👍 What an absolutely smashing review of a timeless, magnificent classic. Thanks so much for sharing your perspective which I so resonate with. Bravo!
I'm not a book reader nor do I dislike reading, I've never read such a big book perhaps not even half that. However I did watch the film and I'm in love with the story and characters, I'll definitely purchase the book. Thank you!
David I think it really adds to the brilliance of the film and that if you enjoyed the film you will love the book too. Let me know what you think of it once you have read it 😀
There is the British version of 1964 with the end of the book: . ruclips.net/video/2RpxiMnckpAA/видео.html . I love edmond and haydee together, the two are similar and want revenge. Edmond was not the same person, he became spiteful, different from the person whom Mercedes loved. Hyadeee is more akin to Edmond, can better understand him and love him as he is by sharing a similar fate.
I love love love Monte Cristo! It's one of my top five classics. It's just so beautifully complex and daring. It's been years since I've reread it though. I really should reread it again this year if I can. Happy REading!
Yayyy I am SO glad you loved this. Fantastic review! I really need to do a reread some day. Also a reread of The Three Musketeers... I definitely need to read more of his work too :)
You're right! Listening to the audio book right now. About half way through. Loving it so far. I was worried I wouldn't be able to understand it but it's quite simple and lots of nice similes, quotes, insights into various cultures and world history.
I too have this monster truck on my bookshelf. I just purchased it last month, but this review was beautiful (or is it your accent).. They both were lovely. Thank you and I look forward to tackling this Lion King of a book one day soon. LOL
I read Les Miserables a few years ago and although I was daunted by the size, it was fantastic! I'm really intrigued by The Count of Monte Cristo and I think you might have convinced me to give it a read!
I've had the exact same copy that you have on my book shelf for *YEARS* now but have never touched it. A pity. I'll definitely begin this week. Loved the movie with Jim Caviezel.
I was acutally really scared of reading it for some reasons and have put it down after only a couple of pages for reasons that are not clear to myself either. Thank you so much for this review I really want to try to get into the story again and try it out once more!
I have been reading the book myself and I am trying to absorb as much content as I can since the book is very impressive and contains sentences that I would like to be able to use myself. This being said, I believe that reading 100 pages a day it would just be too much and you wont be able to understand the book and you will just be reading it for the plot. In my humble opinion, the beauty of this book lies more in the details, which means that a fast read would mean overlooking the essentials.
This was an amazing review, I never actually read the book but now I feel I have to. Thanks for reviewing this amazing book. I was wondering if it was possible for me to send you my latest book so you could give it a read and if possible a review.
The fact that you have conquered this one makes me so much more confident about picking it up in the near future. I'm doing a challenge next year in which I basically MUST read a book from that shelf or I'll have to get rid of one, so it might as well be this one after this lovely review! :)

Hi, I don’t read much and don’t know much about picking out a book and when I google “The Count of Monte Cristo” I see that there are different editions of it and I have no idea what they mean... Like whats the difference between the original and classic edition vs. the abridged edition? Which one is the best for me to buy? (Paperback preferably) Also is there pictures in this book? Thank you.
I’m not sure about all editions but abridged means that parts of the book have been removed to make it shorter. I generally prefer the original editions. I listened on audiobook the original and just picked one I liked the narrator for.
Hi! Loved your review its definitely currently on my tbr list now! Just to say loving your channel I am currently ill (hence why I am awake) so decided to binge watch the faithful book tube, it looks like with have similar tastes in reads so would love to do a buddy read with you sometime in the future! X
Bookishly Chaot1c aw thanks lovely and yes I would love a buddy read. I'm currently not doing any until new year but would love to do one then if you see a book we both have then let me know 😀
le sigh I have the 500 pages version by another publisher, Bantam classics I believe. I devoured it in a week through sem-break. I just couldn't put the book down with so much interest.
Which movie? There are many films, I love the Soviet version If it is the 2002 film, it is. The story of the book could be defined as follows: "God and the devil are fighting there and the battlefield is the heart of man.” - Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov. Edmond after years in prison, he returned as an extremely dark and cruel man, he is a man who delights in the suffering of his enemies and even hurts innocents for that. But still, he still has a little bit of goodness inside the heart of the count. Let's not forget that the count has a beautiful bride from the east with whom he falls in love. There is part of the Western audience that was disgusted by the end of the book. I'm going to copy a part of their criticism from the end. "I first read the book about 9 years ago, and I really enjoyed it and was perfectly happy with the ending. A few years ago, I saw the movie version of The Count of Monte Cristo (2002) with Jim Caviezel, and I thought it was pretty decent. A lot of things had to be condensed for the movie, with some characters left out or combined. But the most interesting thing about it is that Dantes ends up with Mercedes in the end. Haydee is left out entirely and Albert turns out to be the son of Dantes, conceived before he was imprisoned. And I kind of liked that ending. So that is where I was at, and I just reread the book a couple months ago, and I think the movie has changed how I feel about the ending. Reading the book again, I couldn't help but feel sorry for Mercedes, as she was not at fault for anything. I even started rooting for her, when she is trying to drop hints to the Count, and the Count realizes she only ever loved him. And it is evident that there is still love between them (consider when she melts Dantes' heart enough to force him not to kill Albert). And at the end, it just felt even more wrong that Mercedes ends up broken, weeping, and completely alone. I realize that the book ending is the only true absolute revenge. And that the movie ending makes the story more about the happy ending for hopeless romantics, and a little less about revenge. So my main question is: which ending would you prefer? One where Mercedes is left broken, weeping, and alone and Dantes is off romping around the world with a princess half his age? Or where Haydee is freed and grows up on her own, and Dantes spends happily ever after with Mercedes? Additionally: Did anyone else have a change of heart similar to mine after watching the movie? TL;DR In the movie ending, Mercedes and Dantes end up together, and now I think I prefer that ending, which makes the book ending really sad :" www.reddit.com/r/books/comments/1r95ix/a_question_about_the_ending_of_the_count_of_monte/ Alexandre Dumas is not a disney or hollywood writer to give a cute ending. In the Soviet version, the director divorces his wife to marry the actress who played Haydee, the new love of the count who was younger than him and left together. Life imitating art and complaining about a fiction book, happened in real life. The book is not a disney story stories-of-success.ru/nadiry-mirzaevoi
I just finished trans by robin buss. I was often confused with characters. I never thought of looking at internet for outline of interlocking characters. Good idea with this book.
I haven't read this book in so long! I actually carried it around with me in middle school to read and it took me almost a year. I hope you had a happy holiday!
Hey hun, you have inspired me to FINALLY read this 😊. My partner and I absolutely love your channel! I was just wondering if you were at all able to provide the link you found listing the cast of characters and their connections. I would greatly appreciate it. Hope all is well with you and I look forward to watching more of your videos 😀
luke caruana I’m really sorry this was such a long time ago now I can’t remember which one I used but I think I just googled count of Monte Cristo character chart. Sorry I can’t help more 😬
I guess it is just me but I found it to be the most longwinded book I've ever read in my life. I found it funny that I thought "Les Misérables" by Victor Hugo would the longwinded boring book and "The Count of Monte Cristo" would be the more action packed adventure but it was the other way around for me.
I'm reading Monte Cristo now. Try With Fire and Sword. That is my favorite. Have always been looking for a classic so captivating since. Hopefully this one does the trick!
That sounds like fun I have far from madding crowd the tennant of wildfell hall and little women at top of my list if any of those interest you we could do in October or November?
I would say that there is no reason you shouldn’t try it and see. It really does depend on the individual for example I don’t think I would have been able to understand all the elements at 13 but would still have enjoyed the surface level story. Why don’t you borrow it from the library and give it a go and if it becomes a struggle maybe leave a few years 😊
I think an important part of understanding the book is that Dantés does go to far in the end and becomes a villain worse in magnitude than any of the people he was trying to get revenge on

😂
This book is as thicc as my hot sister

Hours and hours ... I too listened to the audiobook and I could not put it down!!
The translation that she is holding (penguin classics) is much more modern and easy to read than the original translation. I highly recommend it.
I wish everyman's library would publish this translation 😭 their quality and binding is so much better

An absolute masterpiece. One of my favorite reads of ALL time! Glad to see so many others who love it as well.

One of my favourite novels too. A great story with astounding twists and turns, but always believable. A moving underlying theme too.
I'm SO ready to dive into Count of MC after your review! Thanks Elena!!😊
I think you will love it and definitely recommend reading with someone if you can as it is such a great book to discuss 😀
Why do you listen to spoilers before reading a book
What! 1 thing is one of my favourite songs of all time.
By far the most magnificent piece of long winded literature I've ever had the absolute pleasure of reading.
There are others that are better on the “ long winded” aspect
@@richardbenitez1282 none that I’ve read. There are other such a war and peace and in search of lost time which were massive and I genuinely liked. However I prefer the count of Monte Cristo to all of them.
Took me a month to finish .. but what an amazing experience.
1300 pages in one of the most ruthless tirades of the book:

The count of Monte Cristo is a fun ride. It's the first book I miraculously finished without getting bored.
So tough to convince all my friends to read this but it's such an amazing story, thanks for the video!
I have read this book 32 times… i have to add that ive read the unabridged only once… the story is so amazing and intriguing
I love this book, I'm glad you liked it! I'm a sucker for revenge stories, the theme of a character perhaps getting consumed by his revenge and losing themselves is just so intriguing to me. Musketeers is great, too, lots of fun & adventures.
I can't wait to read more of his writing 😀

I got this for Christmas 2021 - just finished it. It was a bit heavy going in places but overall a brilliant book and agree with the review
"The count of monte-cristo" shows us that our schools have consequences, Villefort, Danglars and Mondego have nothing to complain about what happened to them and their families, even if they do not had not yet planned as a result of their decisions. You cannot escape the consequences by avoiding them.
By choosing something and therefore affirming its value, we communicate simultaneously to everyone. Danglars, Mondego and Villefort explained to Dantes that it was lawful to use lies, fraud and all the tricks in their choices after all they used with him.
Edmond Dantes only applied their logic to them in his revenge.
The book leaves a warning that your choices have consequences and that by changing the standards of values, they can be used against you.
It is not to summarize the book in the villains being punished and the good are rewarded, but that our actions have consequences. The Count in his revenge had to deal with unexpected consequences in his revenge as the death of Edoard. A warning that our choices can have unexpected effects and even if we do not plan, we are responsible.

I've read this most memorable novel four times in my life and will read it again in the very near future, next week, actually.
its a shame you dont have more views. probably because this book is not read by many these days. the book blew my mind
I agree it was an amazing read 😀
I love love love Monte Cristo! It's one of my top five classics. It's just so beautifully complex and daring. It's been years since I've reread it though. I really should reread it again this year if I can. Happy REading!
I agree and I can't believe it was written so long ago either 😀

I look forward to it.... 😊😊
I listened to the radio version of this book as a kid growing up in Hong Kong many many decades ago! Still vaguely remember the plot :)
How come the abridged signet classic version doesn't have any kind of introduction about the translation?
I'm so glad you enjoyed it Elena! This is one of my favorite books, I really want to re-read it sometime in the future.
I'm just so pleased I liked it as recently I have been reading books everyone loves and not enjoying 😀
I’ve read an abridged version, but I’m not sure if I should read the unabridged. What am I missing?
This is peak fiction, a masterclass of literature & storytelling.
I read Les Miserables a few years ago and although I was daunted by the size, it was fantastic! I'm really intrigued by The Count of Monte Cristo and I think you might have convinced me to give it a read!
It’s well worth the effort in my opinion I hope you decide to give it a go 😀
can you show me the final page of the novel? I have readed in 1100 pages format.
Well done for holding up a 1300 page book the whole vlog! I'm reading it now.

I have the 500 pages version by another publisher, Bantam classics I believe. I devoured it in a week through sem-break.
I just couldn't put the book down with so much interest.
I just realised its an ideology on the French Revolution and learning not to go too far with revolt
Does the plot in the book differ to the movie ???
Which movie?
There are many films, I love the Soviet version
If it is the 2002 film, it is.
The story of the book could be defined as follows:
"God and the devil are fighting there and the battlefield is the heart of man.” - Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov.
Edmond after years in prison, he returned as an extremely dark and cruel man, he is a man who delights in the suffering of his enemies and even hurts innocents for that.
But still, he still has a little bit of goodness inside the heart of the count.
Let's not forget that the count has a beautiful bride from the east with whom he falls in love.
There is part of the Western audience that was disgusted by the end of the book.
I'm going to copy a part of their criticism from the end.
"I first read the book about 9 years ago, and I really enjoyed it and was perfectly happy with the ending. A few years ago, I saw the movie version of The Count of Monte Cristo (2002) with Jim Caviezel, and I thought it was pretty decent.

Me either I have really struggled since finishing it to pick up another book :)
"Edmund, you will not kill my son."
Have you read any of Dumas’ other novels? Like the d’Artagnan Romances, starting with the three musketeers?
I have read the three musketeers but unfortunately wasn’t so much of a fan 😢

What do you think was better, the movie or the book?
The book for me I think just pipped the film to the post 😀
Elena Reads Books fair enough, are you ever going to review the lord of the rings books?
Thanks fir this great video. This book was somehow influenced by the Arabian Nights.
Great review!
Thank you 😀
My favourite book and my inspiration -Edmond Dantes
I spent most of the book laughing at the amount of times Edmond went pale. It was wonderful
Best book I've ever read... Yet.
I'm reading Monte Cristo now.
Try With Fire and Sword.
That is my favorite.
Have always been looking for a classic so captivating since. Hopefully this one does the trick!
I bought this book yesterday .
Great review - couldn't agree more!
i would love to do a buddy read with you of another classic if you would be interested
That sounds like fun I have far from madding crowd the tennant of wildfell hall and little women at top of my list if any of those interest you we could do in October or November?
Elena Reads Books i was going to suggest little women so that’s perfect for me
Great shall we do in November to set the scene as I think a lot of it is set around winter?
Elena Reads Books perfect for me I will contact you via Instagram
congrats on finishing the book. it was HUGE!!
Thank you 😀
Audio 😥
1300 pages? Mine’s only like 500 pages? Is your addition large print?
Is yours abridged I wonder
The complete book is 1400 pages.
The Bible my favorite book! History written in advance! Ps.... look up Gene Kim
Have you tried reading Les Miserables? It is also a masterpiece.
I haven’t but it’s definitely one I want to tackle one day
just got done reading it for the 4th time. its so fucking good.
it was also written by a mixed race black man
Its a beautiful story!
Can a 13 year old read and understand this book?
I would say that there is no reason you shouldn’t try it and see. It really does depend on the individual for example I don’t think I would have been able to understand all the elements at 13 but would still have enjoyed the surface level story. Why don’t you borrow it from the library and give it a go and if it becomes a struggle maybe leave a few years 😊
wtf was that at 1:56 ,I got chills man !
Luigi Vampa is a good dude
I lived the modern edmond dante's life.
I think an important part of understanding the book is that Dantés does go to far in the end and becomes a villain worse in magnitude than any of the people he was trying to get revenge on
How utterly ridiculous.
Wow 😄
The book is so much better than that made up gynocentric garbage of a movie they put out in 2002.
.There is the 1964 series with the end of the book.
