About the author

From Wikipedia:

Joseph Marie Eugène Sue (20 January 1804 – 3 August 1857) was a French novelist.
He was born in Paris, the son of a distinguished surgeon in Napoleon's army, and is said to have had the Empress Joséphine for godmother. Sue himself acted as surgeon both in the Spanish campaign undertaken by France in 1823 and at the Battle of Navarino (1828). In 1829 his father's death put him in possession of a considerable fortune, and he settled in Paris.
A street in Paris is named for Eugene Sue, in the 18th Arrondissement: Rue Eugene Sue is located near the Poissonnière Metro station, and is not far from Montmartre and the Basilica of the Sacré Coeur.

Reviews

[Meli🪼 Scotto · Rating 2 out of 5]

Le livre est pas mal mais un peu pédant, il y a beaucoup de belles descriptions de Paris mais c’est long et ennuyeux.

[Macqueron · Rating 4 out of 5]

Maintenant que les fils s’emmêlent c’est tout à fait passionnant. Le livre 9 ouvre de nouvelles pistes, mais aborde avec une certaine modernité les question ms de la justice à double standard, du rôle des prisons dans nos société et de l’abolition de la peine de mort. Ces questions restent pour certaines encore d’actualité. Les derniers chapitres indiquent le début de la fin

[Fabish Caruri · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cuốn này cho kém điểm hơn các cuốn trước vì tác giả nói triết lý nhiều, kẻ ác bị trừng phạt một cách khá dễ dàng, không thuyết phục (như lão Ferrand), anh chàng Germain thì quá nhu nhược.

Série toujours aussi plaisante.

[Emmanuelle Paris · Rating 5 out of 5]

Suite et fin de la saga.

[Santiago · Rating 4 out of 5]

La segunda parte de este libro fue un poco pesada pero ya al final volvió a su estilo. Entretenido y similar a las tres primeras partes.
