4.0

Ich bin beeindruckt. Obwohl das Buch, das im Mittelalter spielt, vor zwei Jahrhunderten geschrieben wurde, war (zugegebenermaßen wider Erwarten) die Sprache sehr angenehm zu lesen und aufgrund ironischer Bemerkungen des Autors und sehr gewandter Ausdrucksweise teilweise richtig amüsant. Soviel zur Sprache. Viktor Hugo hat es hervorragend geschafft, einen Roman aus verschiedenen Perspektiven und anfangs sehr unterschiedlichen Habdlungssträngen zu flechten und dabei auch noch historische Betrachtungen und Fakten sowie breite Informationen über die Architektur der Zeit, in der die Geschichte spielt, einfließen zu lassen. So gab es immer wieder Pausen in der Handlung, was die Spannung, wie es weitergehen könnte, erhöht hat und außerdem ein tieferes Verständnis für das Mittelalter in Paris mitgegeben hat.
