Very good so far - feel like I can tell how it was written in installments for the newspaper at the time, which makes me imagine being able to read each chapter as a separate story. Reminds me of a TV show before streaming. Interesting characters and plot so far, really curious how I will compare it to COMC because I predict it may be a toss up…

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.
