Les Misérables by Victor Hugo
4.0
I finally got through the unabridged version. My first reading was somewhat mildly abridged, but still long.
I love this story, the way it is written, etc. but I'll admit that I like the abridged version better. The story tells the morals better than all the history and philosophizing Victor Hugo adds, which only muddies the themes for any non-infinitely-patient-reader, in my opinion, and would turn many away from an otherwise captivating read.
