Les Misérables by Victor Hugo
1.0
A friend once told me that one should give one star only to the books you weren't able to finish. And I instantly thought about this book.
Many think it's a great book. A masterpiece. But for me it's a torture. I won't say it's a bad book or a bad story, but it's too depressive (which you should guess when you read the title). It made me feel really sad (wich is probably the idea). But I can't read a book that makes me want to cut my veins.There's a point where misery is so big, things are so unfair that I couldn't deal with it anymore. I'm not saying it's a bad book, the characters are truly miserable so Victor Hugo did a good work, and you really get to feel empathy (wich makes it worst). But if you are going trough a hard time, or if you are recovering from one, or if you just can't stand sadness and pain very well, you should stay as far away of this book as possible.
