Amazing book
This book is amazing so far, I just wanted to point out a quick translation error.
On page 440, the translator sometimes goes back and forth between calling a building Number 62 Petit-Picpus and Number 62 Little Picpus, rather than sticking with one version.
Sprawling
An engrossing and tantalizing story interlaced with a fascinating description of early 19th century Paris. This is a classic example of the breadth and depth that literature can achieve that is unavailable to any other art form.
Les Miserables
This book has beautiful prose, great dialogue, and embracing stories.
It is hard to believe a man wrote this all down with quill and scrolls. What an achievement!
I am proud a fellow human being could write these volumes.
