One of the grandest tales of adventure, Alexandre Dumasโs epic novel of revenge, perseverance, lost love, and self-inventionโnow a PBS Masterpiece miniseries starring Sam Claflin and Jeremy Irons โMy desert island book . . . No matter how many times I revisit it, I find new lines to appreciate, new narrative corners to explore.โโV. E. Schwab, The New York Times Book Review Thrown in prison for a crime he has not committed, Edmond Dantรจs is confined to the grim fortress of the Chรขteau dโIf.

Poor packaging
Thankfully, I received the book in relatively good condition, although the packaging could've been a lot better. The pages are good, print quality is fine too but corner is a bit damaged cause of the poor packaging. Amazon could've put more effort into packaging but they just put it in a brown envelope and sent it. Books are fragile; pages, cover and spine could be easily damaged while transportation so putting a bubble wrap on it, transporting it in a box shouldn't be that difficult. I've had better expectations from you amazon.

Finally got my hands on it
The book was well packaged and came in very good condition. But it is a massive book, so you have be extra careful or you risk damaging the spine of the book. Paper quality and printing is good considering the price and how much they had to pack in

Ever time classics by Dumas. 1200 golden pages.
This undoubtedly falls in the category of the best books ever written. And this paperback edition is the best affordable one. The best copy of Unabridged version translated from the French by Robin Buss. Thrilling and enjoyable from start to stop. Alexandre Dumasโ 1200 page revenge epic wastes little time in not thrusting the plot along, quite violently so at times, and includes within a brief, sketchy history of the return of Napoleon and his subsequent second defeat. I just don't get enough of this book and keep reading from random pages as it just keeps you motivated. Dumas in this story shows you a totally different style of revenge. No doubt The Journey with Edmond Dantes in this book is one of the best you will ever experience.

Simply Breathtaking.
An astounding novel, one that beautifully explicates the contrast of good and bad, life and death, reward and punishment, pride and redemption. It is a story which strikes you so hard that you are left gasping for air. Every page is amazingly crafted, every situation is elaborately described, every feeling is properly felt. The book builds up its ultimate climax in an intricate fashion, a fashion that I admire to its roots. The nostalgia that blooms in the mind of the reader after reading the book is uniquely intense . There is no question of my recommendation of this book. Everyone should read it. Period. The sheer passion that was woven into the words of this work of art will be embellished by my soul for eternity. This version, translated by Robin Buss, is recommended by many who have read many versions. I would also personally recommend this version as I feel (as said above) that the zeal and the passion of Alexandre Dumas has been enraptured in this English Translation. The quality of the book was excellent, the service of Amazon was so, even more.
