A review by constancelee
Les Miserables (Abridged) (Barnes & Noble Classics Series) by Victor Hugo

5.0

I accidentally picked up the abridged version (B&N Classics) - at 896 pages I didn't even question that is was not the unabridged version even though it clearly stated so on the cover. Now I feel like I am missing all the little pieces (yes, I DO want 50 pages of the history of the French sewer system!). I also found out that this version was not one of the better translations. Per a fellow reviewer this edition was translated at the time the book was first released and the translator took only a couple of months with it. I plan to read the other, unabridged, version in the future.
