I truly adore this series. The Count is Monte Cristo is the sixth one I have read, and I would say it is second only to Les Miserable in its engagement possibilities. The artistry is complex enough to support the depth of the story and clear enough to keep readers of the manga style page-turning. I sincerely hope that UDON and Morpheus continue to translate classics into this format. I can see lots of use for them both for pleasure and for education.

Thank you to Norman Poon, Artist, the publishers, and NetGalley for an advance reader copy in exchange for an honest review.

I like mangas and I haven't read the original novel, so I was curious about this adaption. It was my first time to hear about this story, it is intriguing and has so many layers, especially during the revenge arc! The art was very well done, the characters were easy to distinguish and I think the story was adapted as best as it could be. Some parts had a bit longer explanatory pages, but all those information was necessary to completely understand the plot.

I think the Manga Classics edition of The Count of Monte Cristo is a great adaptation to tackle this classic novel in an easier to read format. Would definitely recommend it to manga fans!

I love mangas and this specialy a LOT. It was so Catchy and so interesting. But there were some parts that there were a little bit out if context. I'm general I love it; and at this times if the year more.

I have never been one for reading manga but I really enjoyed this. It has been years since I read The count of Monte Cristo. The illustrations were great in the story, although was trimmed, kept all the twists and turns. I think I'll definitely use these books to introduce my kids to the classics. I didn't like that the ebook was not set up to be read as a manga. I had to scroll to the end of the book and read it backwards.

Much better than the Pride and Prejudice manga! I found the style less clunky and the overall vibe much better. I have yet to read the source book, so I can't speak to it keeping to that, but I'd recommend to anyone who loves manga and period pieces.

Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book! The title and this beautiful cover drew me in and i was excited to read this book! I will be recommending this book to others for readers advisory

I love the Count of Monte Cristo, and using the manga art style just makes it even better. Edmund is a fabulous character made even better by the art style, and the action scenes really pop.

Manga Classics: The Count of Monte Cristo has the most beautiful illustrations of all the manga classics that I've read so far. This manga rendition of the classic is an amazing recreation that is true to the original and honors the classic novel well. I never get tired of this series!

First things first I would like to thank NetGalley for allowing me to read the manga version of one of my favorite classical books.

The art for the characters matched what I had always envisioned the characters to be the story line being pretty straight forward from the literature was an amazing touch and very much appreciated for such an amazing story.

**Disclaimer: I received a free copy of The Count of Monte Cristo by Stacy King through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.  Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for this opportunity.

Manga Classics: The Count of Monte Cristo by Stacy King is a graphic novel adaptation of the classic novel The Count of Monte Cristo.  It tells the story of a young man who is badly wronged by people who want what he has and consequently he swears his revenge.  It was published on April 1st, 2017.  I rated it 4 stars on GoodReads.

Here's the summary from GoodReads:

A Conspiracy and a miscarriage of justice turn the gentle Edmond Dantès into an implacable agent of fate: The Count of Monte Cristo . Obsessed by vengeance and empowered by providence, the Count avenges himself on whose who have wronged him - but is this justice, or is this hubris? In the end, does even the Count know?
Alexandre Dumas' skillful narrative combines intrigue, betrayal, and triumphant revenge into a powerful conflict between good and evil. Now this exciting saga, rich and diverse, takes on an entirely new life in this Manga Classics adaptation!

I have never read the original novel of The Count of Monte Cristo, but this was an excellent adaptation.  It did a really good job of taking the story and making it easily accessible for a general audience.  Classics can be really daunting, and this made it easy to read and easy to understand.  

The art was well done, and it was really obvious who the various characters were.  The details included in each of the character's designs were really neat.  I liked how much was added to the story by having the visuals to go along with the story.  It really streamlines the story.

I can't speak to how good of an adaptation of it, but it did feel like things were fairly streamlined.  The pacing was really good, and it kept me guessing about what was going to happen next (though obviously if I had already read the classic that wouldn't be the case).  

The story was interesting to me.  There are definitely some questionable things that happen by our current day standards, but I was still interested enough to keep reading.  Overall, I had fun while reading and it was a pretty well done book.

If you like easy to read classics, this is totally worth checking out.

I am a big fan of the book! I love that it starts out showing not only sketches of all the characters connected to their names, but it also has a family tree to help clear things up for the reader. This is a great manga book to expose readers to a classic they may not have otherwise read.

*Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with an early copy of this book*
The manga is an adaptation of the classic of the same name. The story is well told and it's great easy read especially for young readers that feel intimated by the full length novel. My only critic is about the art style, it isn't bad, however it isn't the best either.
Either way, I'd greatly recommend this manga for young readers.

The blurb caught my attention but after that I lost my interest and didn't read this book. Maybe next time.

Fantastic art!

I really liked how visually pleasing the art is; crisp lines and bright, vibrant colours. It was so much fun. Although I haven't read the novel it was based on, I found it a lot of fun to read!

Manga is format where I feel really confortable. So, the clasics, oftem something I would not read, are very friendly with me in that.

The draws are beautiful and the story, dialogues and timing are well designed.

Thank you Udon Entertainment for this arc.

I loved this! I love the concept of creating manga versions of classics, as I feel that it makes them more accessible to a larger audience. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that enjoys the classics, even if they don't tend to gravitate towards manga. Definitely a fun experience!

Woah, this one was such a great reading I 've always loved this narrative, So It's no wonder that I have enjoyed this Mangá a lot! The deep emotions of the characters, the build of the most important parts of the book, everything in here is well made. Highly recommended !

I love this story and I was curious to see how it would be presented in a Manga. Let me first say I loved the illustrations. They brought the written words to life! The story itself was condensed beautifully. The crux of the plot was there and nothing significant was lost despite the condensed version. This is my first Manga but it won’t be my last!

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with the opportunity to read and review this classic.

Manga Classics: The Count of Monte Cristo

Full feature for this title will be posted at: @cattleboobooks on Instagram!

You say "Monte Cristo", and I say "I am weak", that is the general feeling I experienced when finding this volume among the downloadables.
The story of Edmond Dantes is widely known, so I won't talk about it, but let me tell you about this manga: I want to read all Manga Classics now.
The drawings are absolutely beautiful, the story is very loyal to the one in the book, and from the notes at the ending you can see the sketcher made a huge effort to make every table in the manga as accurate and pretty close to reality as she could (i.e. the explanation of how she had to draw again the scenes in the Chateau D'If after visiting the castle).
If you are a fan of the Count and his story and love beautiful drawings, this is absolutely the manga for you.
I will surely read more Manga Classics.
