t8r 's review for:

Les Misérables by Victor Hugo
3.0

This book tore my heart to shreds. I don't know what I'm feeling right now. Sad? No. Happy? Definitely not. Miserable? Maybe. Nothing? Most likely.

I am amazed that Hugo was able to bind so many characters and storylines together so beautifully. He brought tears some times, laughter others, and just hurt me the rest of the time. I love his digressions into the history of France. They were the only reason I could keep up with the events in the book.

I'm glad I read this book. It's probably changed my life for the better.
Now I'm going to go cry myself to sleep.
