A man named Dantes

I am currently reading a new book and it is freaking awesome. It is one of the greatest books ever written. It was written by Alexander Dumas, the same author of The Three Musketeers. The book is titled The Count of Monte Cristo. Not that it matters but it has about 1462 pages in it. That is at least 117 chapters. It is beautifully written. It is about a jealous person who was in love with a girl. This girl was on the verge on marriage and that made him uneasy. So he framed the groom she was to wed. The poor groom was just about to be named captain of a ship. The poor groom was named Edmund Dantes. He then was sent to a high security prison, being wrongly convicted for treason against his country. But they couldn't keep this man down. He, after many years of imprisonment, eventually escaped. Battling pirates, thieves and his own thirst for revenge. He comes to realize that the man who betrayed him is no betrothed to his love Mercedes and they have a kid together. And the best part of it all is that no one knew that this man is Dantes. His new life was under a new name, a new identity. To everyone in the country, Edmund Dantes was dead and gone. He was ruthless to anyone who double crossed him. He showed little mercy to anyone who was involved with the framing. He lived his life hurting and aching. He fealt like his heart broken into a million pieces and burned by Fernand, the man who betrayed him. After all this time he was no longer Edmund Dantes. He was something much more fearless and powerfull. He is and forever be known as the Count of Monte Cristo
