Unfortunately I think I got the Garnett version. It's not bad and I get the essential ideas which are very powerful, but it's like if I wrote
a book in english and it was translated to French I imagine that all of the linguistic intricacies that define the prose in your language wouldnt carry over. With that said Count of Monte Cristo was a translation and probably some of the prettiest writing I've ever read in my life so I guess it's not always the case.
Anyway I'm rambling, I'm gonna keep plowing through this thing. I guess I was more asking for overall opinions because while I'm enjoying it, I still don't see why it is consistently ranked as one of the greatest of all time. Again only 30% through it though.
