Holy shit! This book is insane. I’m half way through it, and I can’t even express how I feel about this book. Masterpiece? Doesn’t give it justice. I’ve never done this in my life over a book (and I’ve read well over 500 books for the last 30 years), I got emotional during some parts of this book. I have ADHD and it’s very hard for me to focus when reading, unless it’s an extremely good book like this I guess. This probably sounds silly to some. The reason why I’m only just finding out about this book is because I’m new to the West. An immigrant if you will, and never heard of this book until a couple of weeks ago. If you haven’t read this book; I highly recommend it. Alexandre Dumas is a genius.

    It’s been on my list for a while, I’ll get to it one day. I’m also planning to watch Gankutsuou afterward, which is an anime retelling set in the far future, and is supposed to be good

      Ooooh, you’re in for a treat. And thank you for making me aware of Gankutsuou. I didn’t know such thing existed. I’m going to start watching it right after I’ve finished the book. I had the movie lined up, but I guess this show will have more details. How many seasons?

        1 season, 24 episodes. That’s the limit of my knowledge about it though. I just heard about it from some else’s recommendation lol
