Book Reviews of Les Mis?rables (Signet Classics)

Book Review: A must read for anyone breathing and literate
Summary: 5 Stars

Victor Hugo's "Les Miserables" is by far the most wonderful novel ever written in any language. Hugo has created characters whom many feel quite passionately about. From selfless, repentant former convict Jean Valjean and committed, unrelenting Inspector Javert to the streetwise Thenardier children and the idealistic student Marius. The story is the most moving I have read incorporating love, loss, hatred, friendship and just about every other human emotion. The best part of the story, in this reviewers opinion, is that of the student uprising in 1832 Paris. Enjolras, the leader of the students, is by far the most inspiring literary hero ever. With his enthusiasm, commitment, and sacrifice he can steal the heart of anyone who has not abandoned idealism. This book is the only one I would reccomend to every person I know.
