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
There is at least one abridged version that cuts out a whole plotline/character. That made our group discussions at school very interesting when we read different versions! But if you know who Benedetto is, then you probably didn’t miss anything of great importance.
I read an unabridged version and don’t remember who that is, which tells me that maybe I don’t need to be so snooty about abridgements…
