Count of Monte Cristo is a well written revenge story following Edmond Dantes, a very successful sailor at a young age. He is about to get a promotion, and he is set to wed a beautiful lady named Mercedes. However, this success was followed by severe misfortune. On the day of his wedding he is arrested and taken to prison. The rest of the story is formed on how Dantes takes his revenge against his wrongdoers. Personally, I feel like this book is one of the best classics that can be read and understood well at the middle school level. The method of writing and the deep imagery used by the author engages the reader and makes this book a real page turner. The thing that is a drawback to this novel (hence the 9 rating) is its predictability.
