Ruan Peat's story about The Count of Monte Cristo
« Back to The Book That Changed My Life
Author: Alexandre Dumas
SynopsisThe ultimate 'time solves all problems, and revenge is sweet but not needed' story. The best revenge is to live well.
My Story
As a bullied teen I read this novel and realised that I didn't need to get back at my tormentors this week or even next, I realised that I didn't have to get down to their level and I could wait and enjoy my own life. Revenge always has more effect on the one who does it than on the others on whom it is done. Live well and do well is a much more effective reply to those who would bring us down.
