I might as well chime in since I'm now reading the Count of Monte Cristo. I'm less than halfway in, there was a bit of a slow plot after he got out of prison and started buying up stuff, but now in Chapter 40 that Dantes is back in the plot I am eager to see what his plans are next.
I saw a part of the movie that was made in 2003, starring Jim Cavizel as Dantes, and I had to turn it off after Fariah appeared because the film instantly went into the rubbish pile as far as an adaptation goes.
