Finished The Count of Monte Cristo yesterday. A fun, breezy 1,250-page read that satisfies in a way that feel-good films do, with a lean towards intellectual and historical depth, but a more plot-driven thriller than I expected. In fact, it echoes how many television series are written today (yes, its original printed serial format lends credence to this). In the end, it’s fair to say: vengeance never felt so well-orchestrated.
