Interested in Le Comte de Monte-Cristo, especially with Alexandre Dumas behind it. Is there a particular edition worth finding?

Ciaran, fair point. There is room for something a bit different in the next six.

Le Comte de Monte-Cristo is one I am weighing up. Would love to hear a different take too. The interesting picks are often the ones people split on.

Ciaran, a book-club style conversation afterwards could be good, even when people disagree.

For anyone considering Le Comte de Monte-Cristo: The description has me curious. I would rather know the mood than the whole plot.
