ok, so here's the deal... I get about half way through The Count of Monte Cristo until i realize i'm reading the fucking abridged version. Anyone familiar with both versions know if the abridged suffices or should i just go out, get the unabridged version, and start all over??

Get rid of it. Start over. Count does not stand up to abridgment.

Penguin and OWC are unabridged. The former has a better translation, while the latter has a better cover and paper.
