Unabridged Audiobook
So, I can see why film version of this book took significant liberties with the plot! This was a dreary, plodding story that never quite manages to resolve. Long, long, sections are devoted to meaningless subplots and dialogue that goes absolutely nowhere. I've always been a big fan of The Count of Monte Cristo, and I enjoyed The Three Musketeers (mostly), but I found this a brutal "read" and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
