Even if you've read it before, it's very hard to put down! Stephen Fry is a good writer but he needs to get a new schtick - this whole bad-things-happen-to-good-people-because-of-the-Tories thing is just boring. I don't like Offenbach, but I wonder if that's because the recordings my parents had when I was a child (and that my sister and I listened and "danced" to over and over) were from some French provincial orchestra and so not very good, or if I just associate Offenbach with childishness (though not childlikeness). Either way, seems like there's too many composers out there to go back and give him a fair trial . . . Count of Monte Cristo is so good. Even if you’ve read it before, it’s very hard to put down!
