- Latest Review: Kamel by Charles J Haubner III
The only thing that became difficult was the author’s penchant for political commentary. Hugo wrote the book just a few years after the actual events, so his political commentary is raw and, on occasion, quite lengthy. Readers at the time would have recognized each of the figures he tells about, but I had to do a lot of researching to fully understand the history. Toward the end I admit I skimmed a few of those chapters so I could get on with the story.

I love the musical and the movie, the book is just harder to start.

I fell in love with Les Mis long before I knew anything about the story. I heard the music in high school choir and it was a life changer. I finally got around to reading it a few years ago, and I was happily surprised to find how closely the musical followed the book, especially in comparison to other adaptations (I'm looking at you, Wicked).

Love the book, but it's much more depressing.
