Les Miserables, Read the book, see the play.

Date of Review:  Jan 8, 2006
The Bottom Line: This is a moving story of the power of love and perseverance.
Review: About twenty five years ago my wife and I were staying at a bed and breakfast on an Island off Rhode Island. In our room, that was full of antiques, was a small library of books. In it was a copy of Les Miserables that was printed before the turn of...

A Masterpiece of Character Development

Date of Review:  Mar 27, 2000
Review: ?Yes, as much as it is permitted man to will, I come to destroy human fate, I condemn slavery, I drive away poverty, I teach ignorance, I treat sickness, I light up the night, I hate hatred. That is what I am, and that is why I wrote Les...

Victor Hugo's Les Miserables Didn't Make Me Miserables...er, Miserable

Date of Review:  Jan 24, 2006
The Bottom Line: is a happy fella. And kinda pedantic.
Review: Victor Hugo was so ingenious that even Ayn Rand sympathized with him. Yes, Ayn "Judge and Prepare to be Judged" Rand. Les Miserables accentuates and explores its kaleidoscope of characters magnanimously---------some are largely symbolic and ideal...

"Although so much he was denied, he lived"

Date of Review:  May 24, 2004
The Bottom Line: Any lover of literature has to read this novel at some point. It may be a one-time read for many, but moments of it will stay with you forever.
Review: Where to begin with this monster of a read? Les Miserables is one of the most famous stories of all time. Even people unfamiliar with the plot will probably recognize the name Jean Valjean. And thanks to movie adaptations, and the ubiquitous musical...

A beautifully dramatic story

Date of Review:  May 20, 2000
Review: When I first saw the size of this book I thought I would never finish reading it, but once I started reading it my mind wandered through it like listening to a story told of a close friend. Whenever I would put the book down I always looked forward...

Enc1101: 1632 words

Date of Review:  Mar 10, 2003
The Bottom Line: Victor Hugo creatively used the characters of Les Miserables as a forum to express his view: that man should not treat each other inhumane.
Review: Many of the greatest works of literature ever written tend to vibrate to a single chord of influence- that chord being, namely, the social issues of that particular era. Such meaning can be found to dominate novels such as Les
Miserables by...

Les Miserables

Date of Review:  Aug 19, 2000
Review: Purity derives its lifeblood from God. It comes mainly through acts of service and compassion toward our fellowmen. And, as we serve others, we forget about ourselves and become more involved in what God would have us do.

Les Miserables

Date of Review:  Oct 7, 2004
The Bottom Line: Hugo has created 19th century Paris for all time with this novel, a song of redemption for Valjean. Long, but every word is a joy
Review: Les Miserables is less a novel of Jean Valjean's life and death than it is a swan-song for 19th century France, an unflinching look at the underworld of Paris, and a vast, epic monument to man. Spanning a little over 1,400 pages, this book does not...

Les Miz: a must read!

Date of Review:  Jan 9, 2002
The Bottom Line: Les Mis. is a fantastic work with all the elements that make a story wonderful.
Review: For those wanting to delve into the world of classic literature Victor Hugo's Les Miserables is a fantastic start. Not very many stories involve so many different aspects of a great novel. The great love story, the great mystery, the long journey...

I love this book

Date of Review:  Feb 20, 2000
Review: Ever since sixth grade, when I first tried to work my way through Victor Hugo's Les Miserables, I have been in love with it. This book is just wonderful. For one thing, it has a story that engages the reader, right from the introduction to the...
