Time to brush up on the French. This was a good place to start as it is a classroom version of Alexandre Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo. I have read the story of the man who was unjustly imprisoned and how he goes about settling scores with those who wronged him, but I will be spending much more time with this book. The reading is not as difficult as the language, sentence structure and irregular verb forms. Those are included in the back of the book along with many other things which help those who want to read, write and understand French.
