Publisher's Summary

Audie Award, Solo Narration - Male, 2009

Dashing young Edmond Dantès has everything: a fine reputation, an appointment as captain of a ship, and the heart of a beautiful woman. But his perfect life is shattered when three jealous friends conspire to destroy him. Falsely accused of a political crime, Dantès is locked away for life in the infamous Chateau d'If prison. But it is there that Dantès learns of a vast hidden treasure. After 14 years of hopeless imprisonment, Dantès makes his daring escape and follows his secret map to untold fortune. Disguised now as the mysterious and powerful Count of Monte Cristo, Dantès seeks out his enemies - and nothing will stand in the way of his just revenge.

Filled with thrilling episodes of betrayal, romance, and revenge, The Count of Monte Cristo is one of the greatest adventure stories ever written.

Very well narrated / One of the greatest books eve

One of the Best books I have ever read. Great story of a man young naive and nice who gets betrayed and seeks his revenge in a intricate manner. The book is very different from the movie filled with adventure, action and romance. Its worth a second - or third- reading

You must read it!!!

Aside from the story itself being gripping and amazing, the distinction in voices by the narrator is both consistent throughout and wide ranging.

I can't praise this book more highly. If it's slow at first, stick with it, once it gets rolling the momentum is unstoppable to the end!

An Entertaining Rendition of a Classic

Loved this version of a classic novel. We listened to it as we travelled around France and continued to listen when we returned home to Canada and were driving long distances. The narration and characterization were excellent; it was clearly articulated and very easy to differentiate between the many characters.

ITS A CLASSIC FOR A REASON

I honestly don’t have a single complain about this novel. I’ve read it in French and in English and this is my first time listening to it on audiobook.

You pick up on details you’ve missed every time you read the story. It’s exciting and thought provoking, Alexandre Dumas is amazing and I would recommend this to absolutely everyone and anyone.
