Novel by Alexandre Dumas that explores "How would a man with infinite mental, physical and financial resources take revenge upon his enemies?" Being a Dumas novel, the story has a massive historical perspective, with historical characters and factual events in an intimate relationship with the fiction.
My favourite Dumas novel, it has by far the most exciting story and least slappable hero. --Mjb67
Rachael likes TheCountOfMonteCristo and also thinks TheStarsTennisBalls? by StephenFry?, which is a clever modern re-telling of it, is excellent. If a little scary. CategoryBooks
