1

Still playing catch-up after first day of reading. Just got to Morrel being saved from ruin.

The tension then got to me. I wanted to shout at morrel not to rush into suicide, like give it 5 minutes after the bell.

How many pages are you reading each day?

>>8965502
Best chapter so far.

That monologue dantes did in the end of the chapter is neat. You could hear a guitar solo on the backgroud.

Dumas still offers so many twists. Watching everything unfold is like watching someone disassemble a clock.

Yeah, he managed to get my attention through the book, he is good.
That part were he used the pov of Francis was a little tedious in my opinion, but it was just a couple of chapters, so it's ok in the end.

One thing annoying about the Franz chapters is the discussions he and the Count has are actually very important, but because I was thrown off guard by the PoV switch I wasn't paying as much attention. I'm going to have to go back and re-read some of those.

What did the Count say were his reasons against ever committing suicide? And what did he say regarding death and revenge?

Yes, the big draw of the book is how the tension is always increased to the maximum possible height and then released at the exact strike of the clock. In the nick of the time. The Count is neither early or late.
