wolftashie 's review for:

The Toilers of the Sea by Victor Hugo
5.0

This book was slow in the beginning, but once you get into the style of the writing, it begins to flow beautifully. The fight with the octopus was so intense that I could hardly put the book down. The ending was heartbreaking yet fulfilling to the utmost, especially with all his sacrifices. This is truly a classic, well worth the read; definitely poetry in prose.
