Goodreads Synopsis: A Conspiracy and a miscarriage of justice turn the gentle Edmond Dantès into an implacable agent of fate: The Count of Monte Cristo . Obsessed by vengeance and empowered by providence, the Count avenges himself on whose who have wronged him - but is this justice, or is this hubris? In the end, does even the Count know?Alexandre Dumas' skillful narrative combines intrigue, betrayal, and triumphant revenge into a powerful conflict between good and evil. Now this exciting saga, rich and diverse, takes on an entirely new life in this Manga Classics adaptation!
My Thoughts:
- I LOVE these Manga Classics. I love that they stay true to the original story.
- The story is so complex and interwoven. I love how characters effect each other, and how the Count uses connections to create his plans.
- The overall story is very sad, but there is some happiness in the end. Most of the characters are doomed to suffer though.
- The illustrations and character designs were beautiful! Each page was amazing.
- I think I attempted to read the book once. Dante spent so much time in prison, and it was so slow. I don't know if I'll try again.
I never could make it through the book. Maybe I should try this Manga.
ReplyDeleteI think I need to try these mangas because they'll help me read the books since I don't want to spend the time to read the full story.
