On the eve of his marriage to the beautiful Mercedes, having that very day been made captain of his ship, the young sailor Edmond Dantès is arrested on a charge of treason, trumped up by jealous rivals. Incarcerated for many lonely years in the isolated and terrifying Chateau d'If near Marseille, he meticulously plans his brilliant escape and extraordinary revenge.

Of all the "masked avengers" and "caped crusaders" in literature, The Count of Monte Cristo is at once the most daring and the most vulnerable. Alexandre Dumas (père), master storyteller, takes us on a journey of adventure, romance, intrigue, and ultimately, redemption.

The narrator has a great voice and good pronunciation of french. It was a pleasure to hear the tale told, my french is not at all good so when I read the book years ago I would stumble over all those french names in my head.
I found I kept finding all kinds of opportunities to listen when normally I only listen to books in my car. Even though I knew the story it kept me enthralled and I just wanted to keep listening and hear it unfold.
Well worth listening too!!!

Excellent narration of an all time CLASSIC

Be prepared, for this book is fairly long. This version is 52+ hours. But it's easy to listen to because the story is so great.

Great! Truly One of the classic stories.

I read the abridged version some 12 years ago, and as much as I loved it, never dreamed I would tackle the unabridged. Audible (and this narration specifically) made that easily attainable. This story is simple riveting, and I genuinely was mourning its end. The narrator did an incredible job with all the different characters. For such a long narration it kept me interested nearly from start to finish. I only have a handful of books that are clear five Star winners in my book, and this one makes the short list.

Didn’t want it to end

I was skeptical because I once tried and failed to read the Count of Monte Cristo on my own. The book was long and daunting, and the French pronunciations were difficult to read. The audio book was more than a supplement. Awesome story, and phenomenal performance by the narrator. His voice is enrapturing, and his performance on dialogue is smooth. 5 stars for sure.

Excellent Narrator!

The performance and story were so captivating! now that I have finished this book I am going to crawl into my sad corner and try to get use to reality again.

Amazing!
