Title: Under-rated classic, sadly under-read
Product review: Having really enjoyed all of The Count of Monte Christo, also read by John Lee, I am sad to find this Dumas 'Pere' less satisfying. Both the writing and the reading have a stuttering effect on my brain: short sentences similarly delivered,sudden shifts in focus and little differentiation between the characters voices. I felt tense, listening, worrying I'll miss the bit that matters. It's a book worth knowing, but not one I'll subject myself to twice.
