A review by troystory
The Novel of the Century: The Extraordinary Adventure of Les Misérables by David Bellos

5.0

This book was absolutely amazing. Definitely a must-read for fans of Les Mis. I don't even have words to describe the enormity of this book, and how it put Les Mis into prospective. If you think it's already an impressive novel, wait until you finish Novel of the Century. It was a really fascinating read, and I recommend it for everyone - obviously, for Les Mis fans and fans of nineteenth-century literature in general.

Also, Bellos's writing is generally easy to follow, although there were some parts where I couldn't really understand what he was trying to say. Overall, I'm very happy I found it and read it. Such a good book!
