" I read this several years ago, while on an Alexander Dumas kick without at first realizing that it was by Dumas' son and not Dumas himself (or some other relative). It was long, didn't seem to go anywhere and I didn't really feel moved by any of the characters. Throughout the whole thing, I kept marvelling at how the author of The Counte of Monte Cristo could have written this. Then I did some research and found out that he didn't and all was right in the world again. "
