Cont of Monte Cristo: Manga Classic Version

This is the manga adaptation of The Count of Monte Christo by Alexandre Dumas. I recived this copy from NetGalley in exchange for my free and honest review.

I personally love the manga classics series. They take books that are on such a high pedestal and make them accessible to a wider audience. In this case taking a book that is over one thousand three hundred pages long and condensing it into a four hundred page manga.

The story is extremely compelling and I love the main character Edmond. He is brilliant and calculating as he seeks to right the wrongs that he had been dealt. While helping the people who are kind and loyal.

Everything is so intertwined pieces of the plot that seem unnecessary at first pay off beautifully later. Each and every character has a part to play and the play them perfectly.

It is a fascinating tale of betrayal and vengeance and I adored every second of it. I highly recommend reading the manga classic version especially if your intimidated by the length of the original. I for one am going to have to tackle the original because I just want more of this story.
