Very good so far, I was skeptical that the book would ruin my perception of the movie (flip side of how it usually is) but so far it really isn’t. Still seems like it follows the same storyline, obviously, which I’ll have to get used to. Very well written off the bat despite my usual opposition to first person writing. Excited to read on.

Dayum Villeforte means businesssss with his wife

Really heating up now

At this point it seems like satire how the high class people act - only caring about their income and marriage plans. Stuff is heating up now, think tomorrow will be a lot of action.

I’ve reached a reading flow state - flying through this and following along with relevant sparknotes and family trees to keep track of the characters and their connections. This book is crazyyy and it’s wild to see Dumas actually fill so many pages with thick plot and several subplots in every chapter. Really loving this and excited to see it start to reach the climax.

Dantes is total golden retriever energy and Fernand is the loser simp son who I would dread as a father. Great so far, it’s interesting seeing post-Napoleonic France and the fear of conspirators hidden amongst society.

So far really engrossing - very excited to keep chipping away at this.

Interesting book, McCarthy doesn’t include quotations around people’s speech, making the story read more like a casual dialogue of the characters. I’m definitely into it, but will be one of those books where you really have to pay attention to every like, especially here so you can keep track of who is speaking.

This guy gives even me the ick for how he’s obsessed with a flower more than a girl, but I guess a black flower is pretty cool. Simple read so far but speaks a lot to dreams and addiction, very good.
