Title: You can't cover it all
Product review: I have read the book, seen the play and seen an older version of Les Mirerables. The Stage production by far conveys the total of emotion that Hugo writes. The problem with the book is that Hugo really is very long winded. This latest version of Les Mis, I thought, took the core of the novel ( the relationship of Javert and Val Jean) and treats it with great care. The rest of the story, the innkeeper, the revolutionaries are very important but can't be covered in the short time of a production release movie. I really enjoyed the film, the book, and the staged musical. All bring to life a great peice of literature. See the movie, see the play but by all means read the book you will really see the genius of Victor Hugo.
