During his engagement festivities, Edmond Dantes is arrested and imprisoned in the dismal fortress of If. Some of his "friends," jealous of his success, spread some false information about him regarding a Bonapartist plot they say he is involved in. Edmond is wrongly imprisoned for many years, during which he learns of a hoard of treasure hidden on the Isle of Monte Cristo. After learning of this treasure, Edmond plots to escape, find the treasure, and use it to seek revenge against those who plotted to have him falsely imprisoned.I really enjoyed this book. The plot was complicated and elaborate, sometimes to a fault, but it kept me interested and I was eager to find out what happened to Edmond. Warning: This is not an easy page-turner. You really have to invest some time and energy to this book since there are so many characters and plot-lines. If you can stay interested, though, it is worth the read.
