This is not what I thought I was ordering.

This is a Great Illustrated Classics adapted version and it doesn't allow me to sell it back.

The Count of Monte Cristo

The Count of Monte Cristo By Alexandre Dumas If some body put you in jail for 14 years when you were innocent would you want revenge? Well, Edmond Dantes sure did! Edmond Dantes is the man who was put in jail for 14 years. Edmond has short hair and a short beard, but when trouble calls he grows his hair and beard to look like the dead Mad Priest (Father Faria.) Before Edmond knows it he's in the middle of the ocean in a body bag! One thing I love about this book is that it's unpredictable; the author builds suspense by including many surprises. Also, an unexpected meeting will leave your eyes wide open! Another reason why I like this book is the wonderful illustrations on every other page. Pictures give a better understanding of the writing; you "see" the words. The illustrations also look realistic and show emotion. Everywhere you look action is happening in this book! It makes the book exciting! Another reason why I turn the page is because I am eager to read on and on! It also makes you tempted to read the book again. In conclusion, I think anybody would like this book. I don't think you HAVE to be a boy or girl to like this book. It also makes you wonder what you would do in some of these situations! Book Review By: Raven

Count of Monte Cristo Day

If you've ever thought life was unfair, you need to read this book. Revenge has never been so complete, and the avenger even has a spiritual awakening at the end. There's sword fights for guys and fancy clothes and romances for the girls. I first read the abridged version in the 8th grade, I read the full version a year later, and I'm reading it again right now. It's really that good. Any crime-ring or revenge themed book you will ever read draws references from this Dumas classic. And hey, there's a movie now too!(p.s. this is coming from a now 18-year-old actress with a very short attention span)

Review "The Count of Monte Cristo"

Edmond Dantes is having a great life - soon he will marry the girl he loves (Mercedes) and he will also captain his own ship. But, his future is heartlessly shattered when horrid enemies trigger his very unfair arrest. As he sits in his cell, in jail, he thinks about how to get out. Edmond is doomed with lifelong imprisonment. While in jail he thinks of how to get even with the accusers. Edmond gets out of jail, and is now free, but a pirate. Will he get his fortune back? This answers lies at the island of Monte Cristo.
