The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo
4.0
Super depressing tragedy, beautifully written. Except for the ridiculous chapter that is a written map of Paris. Hugo seems to love extraneous history-geek breaks from his compelling, epic, gorgeous narratives. Hence, no 5 stars.
Also. Why in the actual HECK would Disney EVER think this would make a good children's story? It is wretched, tragic, creepy, violent, and deeply disturbing. The only thing appropriate for kids is Djali, the sweet little goat.
Still, it's a classic for a reason. Powerful.
