Hugo Victor : Les Miserables (Sc) (Signet classics)

Definitely the greatest book ever written. Not only does it contain every genre (excluding science fiction....but no one really wants to read that anyway), but each sub-story is perfectly connected to the plot as a whole. Not to mention the entire thing is beautifully written. Greatest love story(ies); greatest war scene; greatest revenge-plot; greatest depiction of the power of forgiveness. ...more

Definitely the greatest book ever written.

Not to mention the entire thing is beautifully written. Greatest love story(ies); greatest war scene; greatest revenge-plot; greatest depiction of the power of forgiveness. What is there not to love? Did I mention it inspired one of the greatest musicals of all time? Can it get any better? Yes: read it again.   hide

Not this edition; the full version, from 20 years ago. My favorite book, ever. I've read it twice and will probably do so again. Outstanding character studies and a real view of French History.

A narrative very exciting,wonderful and sad about people living on the margins and within of a society.

THE most amazing and life changing book ever written! HIGHLY reccomended to all people
