What does /lit/ think of Les Miserables?
I really like it and found it similar in style to Candide by Voltaire (though I read a shortened version of Les Mis).
I liked Javert for some reason. Do you know anyone like him in real life who gives that much of a fuck about the law? Also are there any interesting insights or things in the book you don't think others have noticed?
I have been reading it and It's been a great experience, because of the history but also beacause of the language.
By the way, I dont know anyone like Javert( thanks God)
Pretty good to read while high I hear.

Its a great book, and I cried at the end, but after I read it I listened to the 10th anniversary performance, and it was better.

Best piece of musical theatre imo, v close to a decent opera.
Not counting Brecht ofc but Brecht is good for different reasons.
