  • Spoilers below so don’t read if you haven’t read a book published 180 years ago

    It is the greatest story of vengeance ever written.

    Not revenge, vengeance.

    The book is bat shit wild. There are parts where you will remember after you finished and think ‘was that a fever dream?’

    There was a cross dressing lesbian couple or did I imagine that?

    Did he really just burn down the whole house?

    How did he survive the poisoning?

    Who is that bandit again?

    What was buried in the yard?

    So many tangential story lines that culminate in an amazing climax.

    So many moments that are little vignettes which explain pivotal moments in the characters.

    The crazy Abbes relief when Dantes believes him.

    The live fish being delivered in barrels

    The fact no one escapes the Counts wrath.

    Wait and Hope Baby. Wait and hope.
