Happened to me with Monte Cristo. I'm pretty sure I read an abridged version. But then I read the complete version and it didn't feel like I covered anything new.

Happened to me as well with the Count of Monte Cristo.
I started reading a longer version, but kind of gave up when I noticed that one was actually abridged as well.

Abridged versions are almost always better. It’s like an second editor went over the story and got rid of the useless parts.

Almost happened to me with Germinal.
