Title: Very readable translation
Review: While I feel that Hugo could and should have made his prose more succinct, his writing is largely inspired and his social and political commentary is surprisingly still apropos. This translation seems to capture the spirit of the age and writer while remaining readable - not always an easy task. If you are interested in reading an unabridged version, I highly recommend this. If you are looking for a page-turner, I suggest you find a good abridged version.
