Now this exciting saga, rich and diverse, takes on an entirely new life in this Manga Classics adaptation! <\/p>\n<p><strong>{My thoughts} \u2013 <\/strong>Another wonderful Classic brought to life through the art of Manga. I&#8217;ll be completely honest, I have never considered reading the original book. It&#8217;s big, it&#8217;s thick and I feel like I&#8217;d be reading it forever. I didn&#8217;t feel that way with this version. I am truly finding a new love for Manga books, most importantly for the Classics. <\/p>\n<p>While I was reading through this book, I couldn&#8217;t help but enjoy the illustrations. The detail put into them and the way in which the characters were brought to life within the pages. I have come to wonder how it is possible that such long stories can be shortened in such a way that they pull the reader in. I found it difficult to set this particular book down a couple of times, due to needing to get some other things done. <\/p>\n<p>I look forward to reading more books in this series. So, far I have not been disappointed and have enjoyed each of the books, I have had an opportunity to read! <\/p>\n<p><strong>Final Conclusion:<\/strong> 5 Star Rating. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature-300x114.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"114\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9555\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature-300x114.png 300w, http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature.png 329w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>{Synopsis} \u2013 A Conspiracy and a miscarriage of justice turn the gentle Edmond Dant\u00e8s into&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9542,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[198],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8403","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-book-review"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8403","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8403"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8403\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10385,"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8403\/revisions\/10385"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/9542"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8403"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8403"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8403"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
