Title: One of the best books ever written
Review: This is a powerful and moving story. It has been called the greatest story ever written that does not appear in holy scripture. Even if you've seen the movies and the musical, you should read the unabridged version of this book. It contains so much more depth and power than the muscial does. Hugo's masterpiece shows Valjean's struggle to continue to do right and how Valjean is given opportunity after opportunity to change back into the wretched man that he was and how Valjean stays true to what the Bishop of Digne wanted him to do. Don't be afraid of the length of this book. It does take a long time to read, and you may have to take breaks, but this is one of the few books I've ever read that is worth reading again. Reading Hugo's "Les Miserables" will enrich your life and make it better simply by reading it.
