Seriously. I know I'm not as smart as most of you, but help me out here. What in the hell is and was so great about that book? I really don't get why it's revered as a classic. After I finished, my reaction was pure incredulity because I really don't get why.

I just bought "The Count of Monte Cristo" and will be reading that next.
you don't like it because you're fake.
