amerynth 's review for:
The Hunchback of Notre-Dame
by Victor Hugo
It was interesting to read "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" after reading Victor Hugo's masterpiece "Les Miserables." I really enjoyed "Hunchback" but couldn't help but feel it was like reading "Les Miserables" light.
Central to the story is Notre Dame-- around which most of the action takes place. A corrupt priest, a gypsy girl with a counting goat and, of course, the hunchback in the title, are interesting (and at times frustrating) characters. The story moves long aside from Hugo's trademark digressions into French history.
I liked this book a lot, but if you're only going to read one book by Hugo in your lifetime, this isn't the one, of course!
