A review by izzyfrizzybizzy
Les Misérables by Victor Hugo

4.5

Only realised I was reading the abridged version when I was already halfway through 😭😭😭 I wanted to hear Hugo’s stupid 30 page long essays and descriptions. He’s a little passionate guy.

Uh anyways great book, so interesting to see his change in perspective on the value of human life from The Hunchback to this. No human life is meaningless, “my mother is the republic”, no person is truly bad or truly good, you are only who you choose to be. 

Love that he shouts out himself and his uncle. Hugo has the biggest ego biggest me me me energy but I love him for it he’s so cool and funny and charming and clever. Love this book
