A review by naomijoyhull
Les Misérables by Victor Hugo

hopeful informative reflective sad slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
I read/listened to the first half (except Waterloo), then used an abridged guide to skip the extra stuff in the second half. Very good, some great observations and beautiful prose on human nature, good, evil, life and death, but not worth the many many tangents 😂
