Recent acquisition for our personal library.
We already had this title, but I replaced it with this fun Puffin Classics edition.

By far the longest book I‘ve ever read, followed closely by ‘It‘. This was my 2nd attempt; I‘m happy & proud of myself for sticking with it. I really enjoyed it, even if some parts dragged on or were heavier with info. That being said, they helped with the understanding of situations, context and characters

First published in 1862, LES MIS is one of the most ambitious and influential novels in world literature that explores poverty, justice, and redemption in post-revolutionary France. The story centers on Jean Valjean, a former prisoner who rebuilds his life through compassion, while being relentlessly pursued by the rigid Inspector Javert. ⬇️

Clocking in at 1302 pages (not including the extra 100+ pages of notes), this baby is finished! #huzzah!
so-so🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑 This book was good, but not great. I think I understand why we read it for class, because it has a lot of symbolism and character references in the story. It's not really my kind of thing, but I appreciate the literature and I'm glad I read it. I will say that it is a nightmare reading this in a class of HS Juniors. #catsoflitsy

I was lucky enough to see the musical on Broadway in the early 80s. From that point on, I always aspired to read it. Tried two times and failed miserably ... until the #readlesmis group and @TheBookHippie. As much as I adored the musical, the book, of course, is better. I snot-nosed cried my way through to the end. 💙🇫🇷♥️
One year to finish.
No words can do it justice--
Except “Vive la France!“
