Not-a-review: The Count of Monte Christo

[hrj]

So my "road music" at the moment is the librivox.org recording of an unabridged edition of Dumas' The Count of Monte Christo (which I've long wanted to read, but find much more managable in audio form). It never struck me previously, in any of the various dramatized forms I've been exposed to, quite how much of a Mary Sue Edmund Dantes is.

Not having been exposed to the unabridged version of TCOMC I can't really comment. But how do you feel about other classics? Do you feel the same way about, say, Homer and Odysseus in "The Odyssey"?
