Maybe at some point I will have some thoughts, but right now I am just excited (surprised) that I have actually finished this book. It has taken me literal years.
There were some great bits, some bits that dragged and some bits that were horribly misogynistic.
I will say, for anyone planning to read this book, I highly recommend the Les Miserables Reading Companion Podcast. I would not have got nearly as much out of the book without the analysis and historical context the podcast provided.
