What. The Count of Monte Cristo is so good :0

#NO-ONE TOLD ME??? #I'm listening to it on the train gasping & shit #the narrator mispronounces a few words sadly & his French accent for the characters is sometimes impenetrable #but idc this book is so good I am LIVING #they locked this bitch up for 14 years!! no trial no charge!! #god help him he was only 19 & so on & so forth #I would've lost my mind #also. the using suicidal ideation to cope??? #what is it w me & sailors who fantasise abt killing themselves #anyway he's just busted out of prison. naked. swimming for his life #the Edmond is out of his cage. yes. YES. the Edmond is free #I'm sooo ready for him to tear these bitches a new one but I'm only like 15% of the way through the book so. I assume all will not go well #anyway the more I read/listen to‚ the more I realise Edmond Dantes is Odysseus Lite #except at least Laertes makes it to the end of the Odyssey alive. unlike Old Dantes :( so Odysseus gets a point for that #I should've realised when they didn't give him a name tbh #anyway NO SPOILERS #I'm aware that it's 180 years old. STILL. 🤫 #ALSO THE SCENE W NOIRTIER??? lich rally breathless #dripping w swagger. fuck les gendarmes. complete identity metamorphosis. drags his failson. fuck les gendarmes TWO!! #I'm sorry Villefort I'm sure ur not a failson #I just haven't read enough yet. & ur certainly not yr father lmfaooo #The Count of Monte Cristo
