Marissa Linderman’s Reviews > The Count of Monte Cristo > Status Update

50% through my reread of this book. I forgot how many layers are packed into this thing. This book is a commitment, and that’s coming from someone whose favorite book is War and Peace.

Also, this translation is way better than whichever version teenage me stumbled through. I don’t remember the prose hitting this hard. I wasn’t a fan of the book when I read it at 14, but at 33, it’s brilliant.
