The Count Of Monte Cristo is the story that teaches us an important moral lesson:
REVENGE IS FUN!
I've said it before and I'll say it again, audiobooks are the only way to go if you're not the sort of reader who likes to read all the shitty filler and crunchy dialogue that normally comes with classic
