The 10 Best Books About Revenge, Ranked

Comments

1. Umbra Sable: None of these books hold a candle to The Leopard's coat in terms of character-driven plotting
2. Dusk Cipher: never understood the hype around The Count of Monte Cristo - always thought Dumas's prose was a bit overhyped
3. Cipher Comet: revenge novels can be so melodramatic sometimes but I suppose The Count of Monte Cristo has its moments though
4. Jonas: don't know why Monte Cristo gets ranked so high, just feels like too many pages spent on 70-year-old character development
5. Nova: revenge always tastes sweeter when served cold, don't think anyone disagrees with that
6. Leo: where's the book on corporate sabotage?
7. Felix Rana: Not sure what's missing from this list - The Count of Monte Cristo is a given, but what about some more modern takes? How did Denis Leary's Jordan
8. Sanaaziz: That Monte Cristo painting always looked so serious but I'm not sure i'd want a revenge novel to start with an image of someone in mourning
9. Hex Raven: revenge is such a fundamental drive in human nature - can we really say we're done exploring its depths?
10. Elin: nothing says subtle revenge like a 20th-century literary classic, but i'm more interested in who painted that portrait
11. Crimson Talon: I'm not buying this list without some nuance - how do they account for The Count's sociopathy?
12. Ravikwan: I'd pick something more nuanced than just revenge - how about exploring why we're so drawn to it as a theme in art?
13. Lucas Larsen: i've read murder on the orient express twice and both times i get more from hernandez's character each time around
