I've seen the movie--the ten hour one, at that. With Gérard Dépardieu. That kind of ruined the story for me....

If they made a ten-hour movie out of it, how long is the book? It's nothing against Dumas, but I don't think I could sit through 1,000 pages of reading. I top out and get impossibly bored around 300-400 unless it's MASTERFULLY written.
