I doubt I could say anything about this book that hasn't been said before. It's heart-wrenching in places, happy in others, with many educational digressions (Hugo really loves his history lessons, which I mostly found interesting). The repeated, almost coincidental, interactions with the same handful of characters did make me raise my eyebrows on several occasions, but Hugo did make it worth it in the end. I'm rather sad at Javert's story. This is a character whose personal growth I found particularly interesting. This is an emotional story. I also found this translation to be particularly good i.e. it wasn't clunky, or archaic. NOTE 1: I read the Penguin Classics edition of Les Misérables by Victor Hugo, translated by Christine Donougher. NOTE 2: For a discussion on the various translations/editions see the site: welovetranslations.com
