What is it with those French writers?

Have you ever read any Victor Hugo? (Well...of course you have, but...) He fits about three history texts in with his novel...dull, dry stuff at that. PLUS lots and lots of description. It's why Les Miserables weighs about ten pounds.

The paperback edition, that is...

Though I admit I DID read Les Mis cover to cover and enjoyed most of it very much...so I can't complain too much.

Yes, but once I read it, the musical made so much more sense.
