I'm really sorry we had to read this particular Dumas. His others are not as bad, if my memory serves me correctly. In fact, I quite enjoyed both The Count of Monte Cristo and The Man in the Iron Mask when I read them many years ago.

Someday, I'm going to force myself to finish it, simply because I can't abide anything in the category of "unfinished business." But between non-fiction reading, for my biz (and life) of which I do a lot, and fiction (so many books, so little time), it's going to have to wait until I have enough time not to begrudge the time spent plowing through the very last of it.
