Yeah, I second avoiding the abridged version. Then you might as well just watch the movie. Definitely get the full-length book.
Nothing by Dumas was better than The Count, I think.
If you want to read another very good French Revolutionary war-era book, I suggest Les Miserables. It's written by Victor Hugo, who also wrote The Hunchback of Notre-Dame. The Hunchback would be good too. Lots of adventure/romance around that era.
Just for fun, one of the better non-fiction books I've read about the time is Retreat from Moscow: The Memoirs of Sergeant Bourgogne, which was a retelling of Napoleon's failed march into and retreat from Russia in 1812.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
