A review by megaden
Les Misérables by Victor Hugo

4.0

3.5 bumped up to 4 for Goodreads. Victor Hugo sure can write. Even in the long digressions about convents, or street slang, or frickin' Waterloo there would be beautiful phrases. However, I found the characters to be poorly developed and the plot hung on a series of increasingly unbelievable coincidences. I did like the story, but I didn't love this "masterpiece."
