Les Misérables-round three:
I still find this book the best book on the planet. The charecters are so real and varrying in personalities. Because of this, Les Misèrables is filled with some of the nicest and cruelest charecters I have ever encountered in a book. Not only are the charecters well developed, but the book is one of the best uses of pathos in the history of liturature. At one part, the reader will be nearly as joyful as Cosette on her first real Christmas, the next the reader will be filled with sorrow when...well, I don't want to spoil anything. I would recommend this educational, plot filled, and enjoyable book to anyone, even though it is a touch intimidating in size. Size and a few tangents here and there shouldn't keep people away from the best works of liturature. Victor Hugo was more than an author. He was an artist of words.
