Over the winter my husband was reading the count of monte christo aloud at bedtime (at my recommendation). They got quite turned around in all the plots and were distracted by how much descriptive energy went into describing how wealthy he becomes...didn’t finish it and now we should probably get a children’s version just to tie up the loose ends!
My daughter raced through the children’s version in one go, got to the end and told me she had no idea what had happened in it, and is now reading it a second time. Even the junior version is quite a lot to chew on!
