I noticed a few inconsistencies between this companion book and the actual novel itself.

I'm a firm believer that using cliff notes should not replace reading the actual novel itself. I used this as a reference to catch up on what had happened in the previous chapters I read and it provided a nice "refersher." It also helped me keep track of the list of characters and the twists and turns in the plot. I have been trying to finish The Count of Monte Cristo for almost four years. (I refuse to give up). I two two different copies (one hardcopy and one on my Nook) and the only downside to this, is that the chapter numbers in the cliff notes version don't match the chapter numbers in either edition that I own.

I am once again thankful for my dear friend Cliff. We have been out of touch for some time (since high school when he helped me read "The Scarlet Letter"). I found this book to be a great help when I had to set the book down for a month because it was due back at the library. It helped me keep track of who was who (because no one can keep their name the same!) Cliff Notes, not just for students.

For a classic literature novel of the size of "The Count of Monte Cristo" (unabridged it is 1243 pages), written in the early 1800's, and due to the number of storylines and characters in the story, a reader needs some support. The Cliff Notes provides that necessary support. I find Cliff Notes to depend on the translation or version (abridged or not) one is reading - I read the unabridged Penguin Classics version of the novel translated by Robin Buss. The Count of Monte Cristo. The Cliff Notes version by Arnie Jacobson tracked it extremely well and I only noticed a few small discrepancies - likely due to differing translations.

Interesting to go through the story again, but I didn't glean very much from the Cliffs Notes. Unlike "As I Lay Dying", this book was pretty straight-forward, and didn't need much explaining.
