FINALLY FINISHED THIS BRICK OF A BOOK. i swear this book is almost as thick as notre dame itself. i know there are thicker books but this was a hard read so it felt longer than other books of the same size.
i have to say that the ending was satisfying and i loved all the twists, especially near the end.
and honestly, the movie did try to encapsulate the true essence of this book but failed miserably in order to be dubbed as suitable for children.
nonetheless, this was a nice read and i'm proud of myself for finishing it.
victor hugo still remains as one of my favorite authors.

Overall I liked this book. It was nice to read a book that actually made me think. The characters and their struggles will stick with you, and the sad lessons that are taught can help us to be more inclusive and accepting of others. Still a good book 200 years later.
