Worth the Listen
This is a very long book but it was definitely worth the listen. Despite taking place over 200 years ago, the issues written about are still relevant today. Hugo's use of imagery paints a vivid picture and the story keeps you engaged throughout. This is truly a masterpiece and it makes perfect sense why Hugo now rests in the Pantheon.

Skip the musical
The characters are more interesting and the long 19th century so much more alive in George Guidall's reading than either on the stage or in the screen.

Just amazing!
The book’s translation has a flow to it that you would think it was written in English by victor Hugo and the narrator really put the cherry on top of the perfection . An amazing read 100% recommended.

A Great Example of Mercy and Redemption
probably only someone raised by an atheist and a devout Catholic could have come up with this brilliant argument for love and forgiveness

the greatest story ever told
It is of little surprise when a book is of a higher quality than that of its film adaptation which is why I decided to add this to my que despite my familiarity of the story.
it has been said of this book that it is "the greatest story ever told". Though I do not make such a claim myself I can hardly argue that it is lesser than any other story I know. It has even overthrown the Count of Monte Cristo in my mind as the best french novel of that period

Les Miserables
It kept me enthralled and absorbed throughout. Excellent diction and heartfelt expression on the part of the narrator.
