[...]there is no man more terrible in action than a dreamer.

The story is amazing and I understand why musicals and movies are so popular as they don't include Hugo's moralizing, preaching, philosophizing.

I din't mind these parts especially about Waterloo and Paris sewers but I see why some people would call this book dry.

What made me mad in this book is Jean Valjean's martyrdom/masochism and how he and Marius treated Cosette. Or should I say how author treats women in this book?
