Reading it was a challenge, not so much because of the number of pages it has (over 1000, depending on the edition), but because of the way it is written in some chapters, which can make it a bit heavy (and that’s the only reason I gave it 3 stars). Beyond that, it's a truly fascinating book that explores themes such as social justice, poverty, injustice, guilt, forgiveness, friendship, kindness, evil, corruption, love, sacrifice, and personal transformation.
My favorite chapters were all those that dealt with the rebellion. Enjolras was one of my favorite characters, without a doubt. And Gavroche... he broke my heart.
