The Count of Monte Cristo

For the past several days, I have been reading The Count of Monte Cristo, by Alexandre Dumas. Today I finished the story, all 1500 pages of it. It is a story about a man named Edmond Dantes, and the consequences that ensue after he is arrested and falsely imprisoned for treason on the eve of his wedding. Dantes becomes a man of vengeance, swearing ruin on those that have caused him to lose his happiness and those he consider dear.

The book asks one main question, who can deliver justice?


WHAT IS BETTER, LES MISERABLES OR MONTE CRISTO???
