Help, why did I kind of relate to Frollo? Without the stalking girls part of course but still.
I adored watching the stories and connections unfold before my eyes, and that architecture chapter? Genius!
The ending however… damn, that was grim.

Couldn’t concentrate and follow plot/characters

the hunchback of notre dame is a book about obsession and infatuation. and what an excellent one it is. the characterization in this was amazing. i loved how each of the characters handled their obsession/infatuation differently and how their background and personality affected that.

omg no way victor hugo is becoming one of my favorite authors…
- also this is a story of the ways that all men take out their anger of unrequited love on the woman.
