I said in another thread that when I finishedquit reading this my wife said to me "Now you feel my pain." It really is a terrible book and I really am curious why such a lousy tale would become the go-to book for "friends" and even "heroes". I'm sure there was some friendship between them but looking at d'Artagnan's actions after returning from England checking on his friends was mostly an afterthought and a way to keep himself from getting caught.

And the thing is, I didn't
hate The Count of Monte Cristo. Granted, the audio reading was FABULOUS, but I still didn't want to murder any of the characters. I thought Dante was a little megalomaniac at times, but still understandable. This, however, I hated.
