Although this book is an abridgement, it is still 400 pages long. It was translated from French.

My birthday is the same as Victor Hugo's. I liked the book quite a bit better than the musical or the movie.

I have read, literally, thousands of books, and this is #1 on my all-time list. A friend of mine reads it every December and has been doing so for about 20 years.
