Search - The Count of Monte Cristo (Penguin Classics)

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 and bittersweetness that everyone experiences. This book is timeless and unforgettable.

Great book, and although so much longer, the unabridged version is so much more detailed and worth the read. I would say one of my top 5 books of all time.

"The Count of Monte Cristo" is the only book I've read written by Alexandre Dumas, and I have to say I loved it. The size is rather intimidating, but it is completely worth it.
