Holy shit! This book is insane. I’m half way through it, and I can’t even express how I feel about this book. Masterpiece? Doesn’t give it justice. I’ve never done this in my life over a book (and I’ve read well over 500 books for the last 30 years), I got emotional during some parts of this book. I have ADHD and it’s very hard for me to focus when reading, unless it’s an extremely good book like this I guess. This probably sounds silly to some. The reason why I’m only just finding out about this book is because I’m new to the West. An immigrant if you will, and never heard of this book until a couple of weeks ago. If you haven’t read this book; I highly recommend it. Alexandre Dumas is a genius.

I got halfway through your post and ordered the book. Here’s hoping it lives up to its reputation. I think it will.

Yeah, if you’re ever looking for a book and see online listings with tons of different looking books and a wide range of prices, there’s a good chance it’s in the public domain and available free somewhere.

Lol. Oh no, I hope you’ll love it and don’t feel like you wasted your money. Like another commenter said, write down new names you meet and what they do so you don’t get confused later on in the story. The book is 3380 pages on my E-reader. So, be ready for a long read.

On my E-reader. It could be less on a real a book. Also, it’s a very good book, so you’ll not feel the time. The book is divided into 117 chapters, that way you can put it down after finishing a chapter or two. Not that bad, trust me.

Make sure you’re reading the unabridged version. I’ve heard there’s subpar versions out there.
