This is one of my favorites. Its surprising to me that it was originally written in French, because the humor was so familiar to me, I think that's what I liked most about it... the underlying humor. Maybe that's because our society's humor is very similar to 19th Century French humor. Or maybe I'm just a weirdo. Who knows...
Anyway, it's also a kids book so it goes really fast (which means I can actually finish it in under a month, yes!).
It does reflect a lot of 19th century in some of the prejudices and other views throughout the book, so you have to take that into consideration.
But again, overall I was very pleased with it, and would highly recommend it.
