Holy shit! This book is insane. I’m half way through it, and I can’t even express how I feel about this book. Masterpiece? Doesn’t give it justice. I’ve never done this in my life over a book (and I’ve read well over 500 books for the last 30 years), I got emotional during some parts of this book. I have ADHD and it’s very hard for me to focus when reading, unless it’s an extremely good book like this I guess. This probably sounds silly to some. The reason why I’m only just finding out about this book is because I’m new to the West. An immigrant if you will, and never heard of this book until a couple of weeks ago. If you haven’t read this book; I highly recommend it. Alexandre Dumas is a genius.

    The recent French language movie was absolutely superb as well, one of my favourite movies I’ve ever seen (as long as you can handle subtitles)

      I live in subtitles. English is my second language, so… Lol How did you get to watch that movie? It’s only available in France. High seas?

        It’s still showing in cinemas (watched it last weekend; can concur) but it should soon come out as DVD/Bluray
