If you're interested in the human condition, here is your hell and here is your paradise.
You'll never meet anyone better, or anyone worse.
And you'll probably meet yourself in those pages, who you are and who you could become.
Big book, biggest characters, huge message. Biblical.
The plot is breathtaking, and the social observations are really interesting. They go hand in hand.
I'm so glad I read the full version, even if it gets tedious sometimes, it has to be read.
Now, after 1632 pages read, I don't close that book to just put it on my shelves: I need to read about Hugo, the impact this book had, and process so many notes.

After years of working my way through this book, I finally finished! It probably would have gone faster if it wasn't on my phone, but really, the amount of extraneous information in the book was dizzying. All in all, it was still a well written book and compelling story... But I think I might try an abridged version so I don't forget what's happening by the time the story continues after the random chapters talking about history.

This is a fantastic book. I'm so glad I bought and read it. Two thumbs up. I love you V.Hugo ❤

Will keep it on my list with classics I'm interested in to read. I am just not in the right headspace for a book like this currently.
