Count has gained popularity recently and I’m glad it has. Quite possibly the best fiction piece ever written.

The Count of Monte Cristo. I rarely get this absorbed by a book. It was a very satisfying read.

Monte Cristo is one of those novels you think will be slow because of its age and lengthy, but, like Les Miserables, it is highly readable and an intense page turner!

The best one I've read so far is Count of Monte Cristo - it's long but it's one of those books where you get really engrossed in its world and you're really sad when it is over!
