Curlotte’s Reviews > The Count of Monte Cristo > Status Update

The story gets repetitive with the Count's shenanigans.
What else is new here?
I used to enjoy reading this in the beginning, but I'm getting disappointed with Edmund's evil plans.
Are they even worth it?
I guess it's because he has all the money to let the others pay for the suffering he endure a DECADE ago....?

The plot thickens, and it gets more complex than ever. There are new characters after 33% through the book, and I hope they get enough exposure later on in the story. Sometimes I wonder how they will be related to the characters in Edmund's past life.
I still enjoy reading the book, and I did not find anything disappointing yet.

The story added new characters, and it makes me confused between Frank and Albert.
Who is Peppino? I forgot about him, or I don't remember how he came to be related to the Count of Monte Cristo.
I have some questions about Mercedes and other characters of Edmund's past.
Who is this Greek girl? Oh, so many questions.
It's getting more and more intriguing as I flip through the pages.

I picked this classic for a private Book Club on Facebook group chat. There are fewer than ten of us, so I'm a bit pressured to participate. (haha)

Good thing this is plot-oriented and fast-paced. I'm still in the beginning and I'm loving the story. Too bad, I already know the spoilers. Still an engaging read, though.
