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
I’m reading the non abridged version and I feel like it could be shorten a bit. But if you liked it a lot, wait 10 years and read it again.
Yes, it’s a very re-readable book. Wait a few years and read the complete book. The Penguin Classics Robin Buss translation is the best IMO.
yeah I will probably do that since it’s one of my favorite books now, I feel like the unabridged version will bring me more insight to the story and I’m kinda excited to read it one day, kinda looking forward to it now
