The most beautiful story I've ever had....

Wow, this epic tale is a doozey! I didn't get to read this in high school as it was never assigned..I've no idea as to why that was. I am so elated to have had this opportunity..it is a long, long story, and very complicated to follow at times. At the end it is so very much worth the 54+ hours. I am still emotional about its conclusions. For some characters it ends badly, but for three key characters it has a happy ending. Even if you've a cold dead heart, you may find yourself weeping. I cannot Express how much I love this book. And such a fantastic Reader, thank you, Mr. David Clarke, for such a fine Reading! And for putting in such an immense amount of time! And thank you, Librivox, for making such a great classic available! I shall always recommend this book to everyone I come across. 💖💖💖 to all. Just finished this entire audiobook for the 2nd time, 23 Dec 2020. A poignant end to cap off this year. Once again, thank you Librivox & David Clarke for an incredible Reading. Stay safe one & all.💝♾🌻☯️

I was amazed how a book could be so long without dragging in places with unnecessary description or uninteresting sideline plots. At first I was unsure, (it starts off a little slow) but WOW it picked up and I couldn't stop listening! I was hoping this one would last me awhile since it was so long... haha. Great story!

"The sum of all human wisdom will be contained in these two words: Wait and Hope." I had an excellent time on this journey with Dumas. My favorite parts were these reflections on the human experience, which made my mind tingle in excitement. The presentation is marvelous in ways otherwise stated in these reviews. Many thanks to Mr Clarke and the Librivox team, for making this classic read so enjoyable. Thanks for reading my brief review, and take good care. ~ S
Absolutely wonderful reader!

Yes, I made it through 54 entrancing hours listening to his captivating voice tell this wonderful story. As always, the book is so much better than the movie (which I have always enjoyed!). Do it, just do it!!
Amazing

I couldn't stop listening and I was mesmerized with the way the Count revenged himself. He had thought of everything. I now want to get the book and read it by myself.

It was a bit hard to get into it but once you get past some chapters. You will find any enchanted treasure. One that at times has you in the happiest please but just as soon brings the shock of an unexpected events. I would listen to this book several times if I had the time. It truly is well deemed to be a classic. The characters are wonderfully described and wonderfully develop through the store. I would recommend the store to anyone of my friends who need a book to read or listen too.
Thank you!

This has been my favorite book for a couple decades now. David Clarke does it more than justice, not just reading it aloud but bringing the characters, especially the titular one, to life. He even goes so far as to match the accent to the persona and/or character who is speaking. If you have not read through this many-layered book, this is a wonderful way to be introduced to it. As the ‘English banker’ says (and Clarke excellently read), “Well done!”
