Why people recommend it
The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas is an epic classic adventure novel centering on betrayal, wrongful imprisonment, and a meticulously planned revenge. On The Joe Rogan Experience, Ryan Holiday briefly mentioned the novel while introducing another historical book. Guillermo del Toro spoke on The Book Review about how modern readers mistakenly assume they fully understand classic stories like Monte Cristo without grasping their intricate literary mechanics. Bill Burr frequently discussed reading the complete, unabridged version of the novel on the Monday Morning Podcast, recalling that it spanned hundreds of pages with tiny font and noting that he managed to finish it despite struggling with attention difficulties. Rose McGowan also recalled reading the unabridged version when she was fourteen years old on an episode of The Book Review. Additionally, Chuck mentioned on Stuff You Should Know that the novel was a revenge-themed book they had accidentally omitted from a previous episode, and Neal Stephenson referenced it on the Lex Fridman Podcast as a staple of classic literature adaptations.
