For good reason, this story has enthralled readers for almost two centuries. Taken as a classic and a product of its era, one can place the…eccentricities…of the characters in context. But this edition has so many weird typos. “Lie” instead of “he” occurs many, many times. There are others, but my memory has not retained them.

Of course this is a fantastic book, but the translation was horrid. Many grammatical errors throughout. Duplicate sentences/paragraphs. It seemed AI translated in my opinion. Due to these issues it was difficult to flow through these elaborate passages. But alas, Dumas drove me to endure as Edmond had endured. His storytelling was too good to stop. As well, I do not have the count's wealth, and so i preferred the free translation... I read what I paid for...

There were genuinely many moments that were a 5-star reading experiences for me — emotional, tense, immersive, and unforgettable. I completely understand why it’s considered a classic. But as a modern reader, the length and pacing sometimes made the experience uneven, and certain outdated social attitudes pulled me out of the story. I admired this book more consistently than I loved every moment of reading it, but I’m still very glad I experienced it.

Tons of typos, hard to read. Did it anyway and was riveted!

Good book rather long. A lot of misspellings and some repeated sentences. Good read.

AI translated or something, many mistakes in this version

I saw the movie when I was younger and thought it was good. Now having read this novel in its entirety, I will remember the movie as trash and never recommend it to anyone. This book is amazing, simply put.

I have this edition because it’s free but the typos and repeated words are distracting.

The book was great. This particular edition had so many typos it became distracting.

Good
