just finished reading the count of monte cristo only to realize that I read the abridged version (that version still had 930 pages so I thought it is only shorter cause of the font and book size but turns out it’s an abridged version yayy)… so what do you recommend me to do now? ( By the way I really enjoyed the story, it was a really fun read but it took me some time to get through cause I dont really read classics that often, that’s why I was kinda proud of myself for ‘finishing’ that one)
Idk what to do know, is it still worth it to pick up the unabridged version? I probably should do that but right now I don’t have the energy to relive the book again… kinda disappointed though cause I despise ‘abridged versions’, now I feel like I read an incomplete book :(
sorry had to rant haha
What exactly did the abridged version cut? If it cut a lot of the middle nonsense with the italian bandits, then that’s fine, you don’t need to go and re-read the full version.
If it actually cut words from the first and last part? Then yeah, put the full version on your to-read list for next year.
How are they suppose to know what was cut from a book they haven’t read?
