The Count of Monte Cristo

This book is about a man who had everything, how it was stolen, and how he got it all back. It shows how far a person would go with nothing left to exact revenge from an evil. When I read this book, it held my attention to the finish. In my opinion it should be called a classic.

Set in Nazi Germany, Liesel steals her first book before she has even learned to read. As the story unfolds we see how Liesel comes to learn about the people around her and the power of words. “This is a story of courage, friendship, love, survival, death, and grief. This is Liesel’s life on Himmel Street, told from Death’s point of view.”

I had to be coerced into watching this documentary, I confess. It looked heart-wrenching and I wanted to avoid feeling the pain of others whom I could not help. Indeed, it was heart-wrenching and uncomfortable, but the challenge – like all challenges – was worthwhile. This is a story of children without hope and a photographer determined they get half a chance. Limited in her capacity to help in any other way, she teaches them photography. It is wonderful to watch them all change through the experience. The story reminds us that every generation is a new opportunity, that every set of eyes is a new lens and that all of us change one another. Be brave and watch!
