recommends it for: Those who love classics and/or French culture
I realized today that I have this listed as a favorite book in my profile, but it wasn't on my read list. It is another that I read in high school. Some parts are pretty simplistic and conventional, but it all comes together so romantically. Did you know it's said that Victor Hugo always wrote standing up? If you've seen the unabridged version of this book, he must've gotten tired! Anyway, I just really like Jean Valjean, including saying his name.

Wow, J'ai choisi la version Française! Reg...more

I had a hard time putting Les Mis down. I mostly read it during my work breaks, but found myself taking it home, and trying not to read it while sitting at stop lights! It was quite captivating. Still have not seen the musical, as I'm afraid I'll be disappointed with how many differences there are between the two (so I've heard from my husband). I'm thinking about reading this one again soon...

One of a few books that I rated with 5 stars. Incredible! I read this book (unabridged---which I recommend) during the summer before I went to the musical at Capitol Theater in Salt Lake City. I wanted to understand the story before seeing the show. I enjoyed the show, (I LOVE THE MUSIC!) but it was a sketch compared to the depth of story-line and characters one reads in the book.

Good epic story. Along the lines of A Tale of Two Cities. Tragic protagonist and beautiful (if stereotypical) characters.

Les Miserables is one of my two all time favorite books. Throughout the story and world that Hugo crafts is incredible.
