Samuel Lima: Ótima História.

Anton: The letters are quite small, and I would rather not strain my eyes reading this. This review is only about the small font size, not the story itself.

Ingo S: Wer die deutsche Übersetzung kennt,weiß um die Handlung. Ich lese das Buch auf Englisch damit das Hirn was zu zun hat.
Das Buch als Gegenstand hat einen weichen Einband,dass ist von der Haptihk ganz schön.

Tabitha: The cover to this book is perfect for such a large/thick book - beautiful, sturdy and flexible. The text is pretty small, so if that is a problem for you just be aware. With the quantity of words in this book though, it’s what you expect to get.

Barbara West: This is a gorgeously produced volume. The soft leather binding feels wonderful to hold. The story of course, is fabulous.

The one criticism -- the font is extremely small. The story and the feel of the book draw you to it. The small font size is a bit of a struggle so that dampens my enthusiasm.

This is not a comic book or graphic novel. The reviewers are wrong on that. They are reviewing a different offering; not this particular volume.

The Library Mouse Tales: This is a colourful graphic novel version of the famous Alexander Dumas book. It tells the exciting story of Edmond Dantès, who is a merchant sailor in the early 1800s. Edmond has a good life. He is a successful sailor, has many friends and is engaged to a beautiful woman called Mercedes.

But there are some of his so-called friends who become jealous of his perfect life and plan to ruin it. They accuse him of treason and he is sent to an island prison, Château d’If, for life without a trial! He loses his job, his success, his fiancée, his freedom and his good reputation.

After 13 years in prison, Edmond has made a friend, Abbé Faria, who teaches him many subjects and tells him about his treasure hidden on the island of Monte Cristo. Edmond is desperate to escape the prison, get revenge on all the people who betrayed him and find Abbé Faria’s treasure.

This book is a great way for younger readers to enjoy this classic revenge story. It includes lots of detail and has all the action and excitement of the original story but in a comic strip style that makes the story easier for young people to enjoy. You will need to get your own copy to discover if...

GlueFactoryBJJ: First, don't start if you don't have the time to finish. The book is at least 1,100 pages long (my Kindle app quit counting at page 631 and just over 50%, but kept incrementing the percentage).

Second, be prepared to read it with a dictionary because there are many words and uses of words that you will probably not be familiar with because they are, today, archaic, and not in common use. I found this to be rewarding as it helped me to better understand the period and culture of France at the time.

Third, the use of 1700's money from France sand Spain is confusing. As best I can figure, a "Louis" is worth roughly 20 francs. A franc is worth 4 livres. A livre is worth about 20 sou. A sou about 5-10 denier. A pistole is worth about the same as either a livre or sou, I'm not sure which. But I could be wrong about this as the author seemed to think the reader would clearly understand and didn't go into detail about the conversations... and they seemed to change over the course of the book.

Fourth, the author refers a lot to various cultural norms of high French society of the time. You might find them strange, but, IMO, they give a lot of insight into the beliefs...

Abeed: The Count of Monte Cristo is a world classic book based on an epic adventure.
The classic book is about a 19 -year old Frenchman named Edmond Dantes
Edmond Dantes was a young man who worked on a ship called the Pharaoh. In
1815 the ship sailed into the Marseilles the captain Leclerchad died during the
voyage. Mr. Morrrel, the owner of the ship thought about making Edmond
Dantes the new captain of the ship. Danglars was another man on the ship who
wanted to be the captain of the ship.

One day when Danglars was talking to Mr. Morrel, Mr. Morrel was complimenting
Edmond Dantes and how he was thinking about making him the captain of the
ship. But then Danglers was criticizing Edmond about when Captain Leclerc
died, they wasted time on the island of Elba. Edmond ordered them to stay
there. He said that it was like a holiday.

Danglars thought that Mr. Morrel was wanting to make Edmond Dantes the
captain. So he got an idea. If he told the government that Dantes was trying to
steal Constantinople, which was in Istanbul would go in prison. So he started
writing a letter to the government about him.

At Dantes’s wedding. Her bride...

Jimbo: There can’t be many thousand plus page novels that keep you turning the pages, but this epic (and yes, it does deserve the title) is most certainly among them.
I’m sure many of us know the basic plot, if only from the film(s). A young Edmund Dantes, first mate of the Pharon, is arrested on the day of his wedding, the result of Napoleonic plotting and the malign efforts of a jealous love rival and resentful crewmate and is sent to the island fortress prison, the Chateau d’If. With the help of a fellow prisoner, the Abbe Faria, he escapes after fourteen long years, locates a hidden treasure on the small, barren rock called Monte Cristo, and uses the wealth to spend the next ten years putting in place a most sublime and meticulously planned revenge.
Rarely have I read a work with such depth, every character, no matter how secondary is fully realised. The Count himself is such a complex figure, hate has catalysed his natural gifts, making him intellectually and physically superior to his fellow man. He is someone outwardly cold, yet inwardly tortured, absolutely in control of himself and never losing focus of his ultimate goal of retribution.
Yes, there is more than a...
