i support lynz. i think i actually read this book because you told me how great it was. its defintely a great book. i remember reading the end and thinking that i kinda saw one part coming, and then in the afterward they talk about how the reader sees it coming now but that style of ending was the first of its kind in count of monte cristo.
I think the odyssey was the first ending of that kind. Let's not credit Dumas with too much. I agree though, the book ending is much better than the movie ending.
