Read Les Miserables

Last month, I didn’t think I would be able to finish this book. Today, I feel compelled to write that this was a journey. As I neared the last 200 pages of the book, I could not let go of the book as I felt for the first time that words were greater than pictures. I could vividly feel the emotions of the characters as well as the intensities. I can truly say that this was the most moving book I’ve ever read. When I had finished reading, I could not help but look at the title and agree. Tears fell from my eyes towards the end, and again it was a new experience for me as a book had never caused tear to glisten in my eyes.

Don’t give up reading this book. It’s a masterpiece for a reason. You won’t regret it.

I love the story, but one thing I seem to get stuck on are those histories… of waterloo, of france, etc.. On the 800th page and once again “history of…” Because seriously there are parts in the book when they talk about Marius when I’m just totally immersed into the book, but the histories just stump me. Anyone else agree? I’m going to try to finish it, though.
