Title: Story is a movie waiting to happen
Review: If the Count of Monte Cristo was not recently remade into a movie, this one would be destined to be made into a movie staring Matt Damon next year. The writing was enjoyable and and it was a quick read but it was such a direct take off the original Count of Monte Cristo that the suspense was never there. The only difference was it tried to add a "feel good" ending that did not really work.If you have never read the Count of Monte Cristo or really like classics that have been updated to include cell phones and the internet, this is not a bad book. If you prefer original thoughts and themes - get the original.
