About this audiobook

Set against the turbulent years of the Napoleonic era, Alexandre Dumas’s thrilling adventure story is one of the most widely read romantic novels of all time. In it the dashing young hero, Edmond Dantès, is betrayed by his enemies and thrown into a secret dungeon in the Chateau d’If — doomed to spend his life in a dank prison cell. The story of his long, intolerable years in captivity, his miraculous escape, and his carefully wrought revenge creates a dramatic tale of mystery and intrigue and paints a vision of France — a dazzling, dueling, exuberant France — that has become immortal.

The captivating story is almost ruined by the performance of the narrator, who seems to have been so focused on giving each character a foreign accent that he forgot to put any emotion into what they say.

A page turner! I really enjoyed listening to the book. There's been so many adaptations of this book, and after watching several movies of differing accounts, I finally decided to read the book, and I wasn't disappointed. My only regret is not reading this sooner; I wouldn't have wasted my time with the movies, which were nothing compared to the book. The narrator did a fantastic job, in my opinion, which made the book so much enjoyable. I highly recommend this book.

Really enjoyed this detailed story - much longer than expected so really glad for the audio book as I would unlikely have read it.
