A classical is a classical and The hunchback of Notre Dame is a story we have grown up to hearing and seeing it in movies so it is something in our veins.
However reading it was a completely different experience; I have to admit that I enjoyed Les Misérables more. As in the Hunchback of Notre Dame the story itself was more tragic and violent than the movies specially the Disney colorful one, also the incidents would have been written in a much shorter book as there was a lot of descriptions for the french society and Paris at that time that could have been written in a separate distinct book.
