sleuthed 's review for:
The Hunchback of Notre-Dame
by Victor Hugo
DNF at 213/265.
Not badly written but so fucking boring it's impossible to read. Les Miserables was way better.
It's hard to believe Victor Hugo wrote this in like 6 months. It's SO LONG and he spends forever giving way too much background information. Like a whole chapter just describing Notre Dame. Which I fucking skipped because I just don't care.
Also too many side characters of no consequence. If it just focused on Claude Frollo, Quasimodo, Esmeralda, and Phoebus you'd have a decent 100 page novella.
