Thank you @gali! I will definitely have to give this a try. I remember watching the Disney version of The Hunchback of Notre-Dame and absolutely loving it. I can only imagine how great the actual book is! Thank you!gali wrote:@"hsimone", 'The Hunchback of Notre-Dame' is a great book and I highly recommend it. I would rate it 4 out of 4 stars.

The book is very historical (which is why I picked it), so it won't have the sweet and sickly honey of the film. In fact, it's much darker. Just a heads uphsimone wrote:Thank you @gali!

Yeah...I can only imagine how dark it would be. Usually, Disney movies fluff everything up. Thanks for the heads up! When I start reading it, I'll definitely keep that in mindryanj1 wrote:The book is very historical (which is why I picked it), so it won't have the sweet and sickly honey of the film.
