Title: Crime and Excessive Punishment
Review: Imagine in our society today if anyone was punished in the harsh manner that Jean Val Jean was punished for the crime he committed. Moreover, someone (Inspector Javert) spending a life time in pursuit of a criminal for petty larceny. A most inefficient use of taxpayer dollars.The book is difficult to read, however it has a lot of interesting history. I am only half way through the book, but I will continue because I have discovered things in this book that were not in the many plays that I have seen on this same topic "Les Miserables".
