Holy shit! This book is insane. I'm half way through it, and I can't even express how I feel about this book. Masterpiece? Doesn't give it justice. I've never done this in my life over a book (and I've read well over 500 books for the last 30 years), I got emotional during some parts of this book. I have ADHD and it's very hard for me to focus when reading, unless it's an extremely good book like this I guess. This probably sounds silly to some. The reason why I'm only just finding out about this book is because I'm new to the West. An immigrant if you will, and never heard of this book until a couple of weeks ago. If you haven't read this book; I highly recommend it. Alexandre Dumas is a genius.

I have read both The Count of Monte Cristo, The Three Musketeers, and Twenty Years After. I'm currently playing with the idea to read The Three Musketeers again because it has been so long.

I had also read The Count of Monte Cristo a few years ago and want to see if i can take on the unabridged version
