Query: Compares Well To the Classic Story

I wondered myself how The Count of Monte Cristo could be retold in modern context, and Tim Green does it expertly in Exact Revenge. He stays faithful to the story of betrayal and revenge, but he exercises marvelous liberty to make the story relevant and not just a pastiche tribute to Dumas. The story reads as a natural flow of events, motives, and plot points and has its own merit, standing alone from the classic. A product of the plot is that Seth Cole, the reincarnation of Raymond White becomes less sympathetic as the vehicle of revenge than he does as the innocent victim. Where Dumas painted a resonating work that stands out as a classic, Tim Green's revenge would adapt well for a movie. Both work for the contemporary audience, but Green writes well for our times.
