Title: I am sure literature teachers love it
Review: I had to read this in high school...and hated it. After seeing the newest movie, I decided to read it again (50 years after the first read). I will never read another book by Victor Hugo... I wanted to see how the movie tracked with the book, and the tiny bits and pieces chosen for the movie track fairly well, comprising less than the equivalent of a short paperback, while the book is nearly 1,000 pages. That would be fine, but Hugo takes 20 pages to say a rose is red, shoes are worn, etc. But he was a poet. The endless rambling and describing every little detail 40 different ways while using every $100 word in the dictionary quickly becomes torturous.
