The Mummy of Monte Cristo by J Trevor Robinson – Review by Liz Vrchota

The Mummy of Monte Cristo by J. Trevor Robinson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I wasn’t exactly sure what I had gotten myself into when I picked up The Mummy of Monte Cristo by J Trevor Robinson. I have never read his work prior to this and the premise was definitely strong and pulled me right in. I personally adore ‘The Count of Monte Cristo’, so I was highly intrigued to see what he would do with this classic fav of mine. I must say I had high expectations going into it that it would be something I would ultimately enjoy. This book plays out fairly slow. I will start with that because it stuck in the back of my mind as I read most of the book. I was constantly waiting for that extra bit of magic I wanted for lack of better description. It just felt like it took forever to get to the good stuff lol. This however didn’t ruin my overall enjoyment of the book and its premise. I won’t divulge much more than you get in the synopsis because that would ruin the twist he has given Monte Cristo. I can tell you there is something for everyone in this between the nod to classical literature, mummies, magic, monsters and zombies, and even some adventurous points. I think all the aspects are what kept me enthralled as I felt it drug on. I am eager to see what else we have or will get from Robinson!
