I don't know how Edmund juggled all those identities and stories. I have heard some people say that they prefer an abridged version of The Count of Monte Cristo, and I suspect I agree. I love the evolution of Edmund's character from innocent and naive to worldly, educated and cunning. You may think something is insignificant, but it's not. So many little details from early in the story come back later. Adopting a new identity as the Count of Monte Cristo, he sets out to destroy the rivals who framed him for treason. There is just so much planning involved that A) I would have loved to see the outlines that Dumas made and B) I don't know how anyone can read an abridged version. Thanks to a benevolent prison confidante who reveals the location of a hidden treasure, Dantès buys his way, unrecognized, into society. There are so many details between the events and the characters' connections. That is one of the most epic, inspiring, and often imitated plots of all time. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Revenge at all costs! Any additional comments? The length of the novel can be intimidating but it is so engaging, and the prose is so poetic. Unabridged It was originally written in installments for a magazine, so even at 1000+ pages its a fast and enjoyable read. Harrison’s other performances before? How does this one compare? He narrates a few of Poe's short stories I love and his voice work is amazing. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Count of Monte Cristo ? Edmund's final revenge that turns into forgiveness. Complete and unabridged a 55-hour epic adventure Public Domain (P)2014 Trout Lake Media. It's not just a revenge story (though the revenge is juicy and deserved!) but also a story of hope and forgiveness. Considered a literary classic today, The Count of Monte Cristo has become a fixture of Western literature, as inescapable and immediately identifiable as Mickey Mouse, Noahs flood, and the story of Little Red Riding Hood.
