Trade ReviewThe greatest of escape stories * Guardian *
What makes
The Count Of Monte Cristo such a superior story is that revenge is not the only emotion driving the plot... it is an almost perfect story - also in the mix are love, friendship, jealousy, faith, education, snobbery and class * Sunday Express *
The Count of Monte Cristo sustained my sanity and my life. It is a beautiful book. Incarceration coupled with interrogation can play cruel tricks on the mind and many are driven to suicide.The book taught me to hope when I was living at my mental limits -- Zhuang Zedong, former world table tennis champion and the greatest sportsman in China's history * The Times *
One of the most romantic of all novels * Mail on Sunday *
The Napoleon of story-tellers * Washington Post *
