Title: Excruciatingly long-winded
Review: War & Peace seemed 1000 pages too short. This book, unfortunately seemed 1000 pages too long. Victor, do we really need 4 full chapters about the sewers of Paris and the poetic side of excrement? And are we really supposed to believe that of all the thugs, thieves, murderers and other scoundrels haunting Paris, the one guy Inspector Javert is really intent on capturing is the guy who stole a loaf of bread 20-30 years before? Yeah, I get it--the French legal system was unfair, but c'mon--this is ridiculous.
