I keep looking at this on my kindle, really want to read it, but its sooooo long, I always think oh I will just read this other book first! Have you started it?You could have warned me The Count of Monte Cristo was nearly 1300 pages!
Oh well, think positive. I might race through it like I do the J K Rowling's...

I got this shock when it arrived this week (heavily influenced by this thread as always) and I opened the parcel thinking it was several other books I'd ordered but no just The Count. I was going to take it on holiday but it's too big to fit in my carry on bag!You could have warned me The Count of Monte Cristo was nearly 1300 pages!

Gosh! Now I'm worrying what if I'm the only Tattler who ends up hating it!!!
The pressure is real!
Trust the read, savour it. Enjoy it. This is one of those classics that is actually worth the effort reading.Gosh! Now I'm worrying what if I'm the only Tattler who ends up hating it!!!

I just finished Stations by Louise Kennedy. Beautiful and brutal remain my abiding impression. Not quite Trespasses but a remarkable feat of a book and I’m now a devoted fan. A must read for anyone who wants to ache and avoids sentimentality.
I loved this book. Poor Rusty
at boarding school where they call her Virginia Creeper. So many little details I remember and I haven't read it in over 30 years. I want to re-read it now. The house, the painted table. Her horrible dad.Yeah but if you race through it it'll be be over too quick. I never wanted it to end!!You could have warned me The Count of Monte Cristo was nearly 1300 pages!

Finished into the blue. My second five star rating of the year. Cried much too much, it was right up my street. Just the thing I needed after a few ropey reads!
That sounds good. I'm a fast reader so I'll have to try to read slowly.
I have the book and also bought the audio so that i can sneak in some chapters on my walks/at work.
Just got to a bit a few chapters in where (hopefully no spoilers here) you feel rising sense of injustice and I was listening during my run this morning. I swear the sense of injustice made me run faster
I am hooked but trying to take my time to enjoy it over several weeks. Alongside other books.
i used my waterstones points to buy land by maggie o’farrell yesterday (worth it in hardback as it is BEAUTIFUL) and about four employees all told me it’s amazing so excited for that.
however, sadly one of them told me that it’s like hamnet which is the only maggie o’farrell i haven’t enjoyed 🥲

I’m eagerly waiting your review. No pressure lol
I’ve seen a few reviews that say it’s beautifully written but slow which has helped my resist the beautiful hardback.
I've started it, was on Borrow Box!I loved this book. Poor Rusty
