Question: The Count of Monte Cristo question!?
I love Wuthering Heights and Pride and Prejudice!. Is The Count of Monte Cristo more advanced reading than those books!? Is it more enjoyable!? Any opinions on The Count of Monte Cristo!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I would say that it is not more advanced than Wuthering Heights or Pride and Prejudice!. It was very enjoyable, but it is not truly a love story (just in case that is what you were hoping for)!. It is more an action/adventure book!. A very good read!Www@QuestionHome@Com

It is not more advanced reading than those two -- and might be slightly less "advanced" -- if only because adventure is thought to be more accessible than romance!. It is more enjoyable if you like that kind of thing more -- but not if you don't!. (You may also have noticed that there are great differences between Austen's cool romantic comedy in Pride and Prejudice and Bronte's romance of darkness and posturing in Wuthering Heights -- so a person might enjoy one of those and not the other!.)Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's longer but I think it's easier to read!.

As for enjoyable it's a different book from the two you mentioned!. More adventure/intrigue than romance!.

As for the book it's a classic tale of revenge!. I loved it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Crzy,

I think you'll really enjoy the book!. Just the way he escapes the prison is fantastic!. I don't think it's any more advanced than Wuthering or Pride if you ask me!.
