Negative Positive
Title: Dissappointed
Review: The story by Victor Hugo is a classic that has been presented on film a few times in one of which Quasimodo was played by the late great Charles Lawton. I therefor felt that I would appreciate reading the original by the author. My experience with other book/film connections has always left me preferring the greater content available in the book. Robinson Crusoe, Treasure Island, Gulivers Travels etc. The same cannot be said of this Victor Hugo classic. I managed to read three or four chapters before finally giving up on it. It runs into interminable descriptive dissertations about the city of Paris at the time of the story setting and Quasimodo is hardly mentioned.
Is the review positive or negative?
