The Count of Monte Cristo Review

This piece is for an audience over the age of 16. The purpose of this piece is to fully describe the book titled "The Count of Monte Cristo" to the audience and give them a sample of what they should expect from it as they are flipping through the pages.

Many times it is concidered a Classic Story "The Count of Monte Cristo" is concidered to be based off of the French novel by Alexandre Dumas and it was written in 1845. I would say it is one of the most amazing books that should be given to every student to read in high school.
Its a story based on a young, naive sailor who's name is Edmond Dantes. He is betrayed and accused of aiding the exiled Napoleon and is therefore sentenced to life imprisonment in an island fortress where he spends 14 years being punished unjustly. He is thrown into a secret dungeon in the Château d'If—doomed to spend his life in a dank prison cell. The story of his long, harsh years in captivity, his miraculous escape, and his carefully wrought revenge creates a an amazing tale of mystery and gives the reader a visual of many of the challanges the young hero faces and the stealthy and genius eays he overcomes them.
