Sequels to the Count of Monte Cristo

review 1: I don't know if it was just coincidence or what, but last month, I was able to watch The Count of Monte Cristo (the 2007 film) and so the setting and story is still fresh on my mind. (Although I was able to read the book a few years ago). I clearly understand that Sultan of Monte Cristo is not the real sequel to the hugely popular adventure novel by Alexander Dumas, but with a powerful story written by the Holy Ghost Writer, I couldn't help but have second thoughts.The Sultan of Monte Cristo had impressed me because like the original book, this one is epic! Edmond Dantes continued with his immense number of disguises and conquests. He made Haydee a sultana, and he, her slave. They had their first encounter with the giant pirate leader, Captain Medusalocks and were successf... moreul in bringing him down and even delivering him to the French Navy fleet.Mercedes Herrera, yes, the same Mercedes whom Dantes' first dearly loved, happened on an old missive written by Dantes' father. And she just had the most interesting plan on how to deliver it to the Count. And so the exciting adventure began.Holy Ghost Writer writes like Alexander Dumas, even better, I should say. I really enjoyed reading Sultan of Monte Cristo, it was as exciting and intriguing and brilliant and swashbuckling as I thought it should be. Truly a commendable book!
review 2: I’ve always been a fan of the Count of Monte Cristo, as well as other stories by Alexandre Dumas. However, the language of the original stories is sometimes hard to wade through. I recently also read the first book in the retellings of the classic Count of Monte Cristo tale by this author, and I was immediately hooked by the modern approach to telling the classic story. And what’s even better, this story is an actual original sequel of the Count of Monte Cristo.The adventure follows Edmond Dantes after he becomes a bona fide Sultan. It features many of the side characters from the original story in more prominent roles, and also gives Edmond a whole new love interest in the form of Haydee, a Greek princess that also appeared in the original work. Mercedes, his fiancé from the first book also makes a comeback in this story, and they rekindle their romance as well. There’s definitely no shortage of action in this book, and there are plenty of shocking twists and revelations as well. I don’t want to give any spoilers, but the revelation about Edmond’s mother is pretty ingenious.Overall, I would recommend this book to all fans of the original Count of Monte Cristo, as well as anyone who’s been staying away from the original works due to the classic language style. less
