"Captain or mate, M. Morrel, I shall always have the greatest respect for those who possess the owners' confidence."
"That's right, that's right, Dantes! I see you are a thoroughly good fellow, and will detain you no longer. Go, for I see how impatient you are."
"Then I have leave?"
"Go, I tell you."

The best book I've read. This book weighs a ton but once you get started you won't be able to put it down. I was hoping for Albert to be his son but oh well. Also, Dumas developed the character of Countess G to be so interesting but he missed the chance to do anything with it. I was hoping for this character to be more involved in Paris but nothing there.

Incredible. I can safely say that this is the best book I've ever read. Alexandre Dumas is literary genius, this book is so thought provoking that I will no doubt read and reread this book.
My only problem with the ending was it came too soon, if only he had written a sequel.
