Of course, I say that, then I jumped at the chance to pick up "Shogun" at 53 hours. I guess that's consistency for 'ya.

But the
Count of Monte Cristo was a single book. Yes?
Shogun, at least the TV version (I'm old enough to remember when it premiered), was a mini-series, basically equivalent to a series of books.
The disparity in length sounds pretty proportional to me.
