Format:Paperback
I found Hugo to be at his best with developing great characters, providing insights into human nature and what's going on in people's minds, and telling a story when the plot is moving forward. Having said that, He is really long winded and gives detailed descriptions of things, like buildings, that have very little to do with the story. The preface even tries to excuse him for that saying that what is no longer customary in level of detail used to be the norm. I found myself skimming these long descriptions to pick up the plot again. In doing that I was able to not just finish this very long book but to enjoy it as well.

This is only one part of the Victor Hugo epic, just the part about Cosette. Although the translation is excellent, you only get one minor part of the story.

Inspiring book
Victor Hugo is one of my favorite authors. He wrote very politically-charged works.
This one focuses on themes of revolution, poverty, classism, and injustice. Read more

The mega-novel of the 19th century
Les Miserables handily proves something that gets all too easily glossed over in a lot of books from the 19th century: Life completely sucked for the average person. Read more

FRAUD! NOT what it claims to be.
Yes, buried in the 'description' Amazon tells us that this is a scanned version of a classic and may contain 'occasional imperfections'. Read more
