Its FATE to read Victor Hugos best Novel

|
Pros: One of Victor Hugos best works of literature.
Cons: There was a cartoon movie made from it.
The Bottom Line: With this Romantic novel, Hugo breaks many illusions about the Middle Ages in his work about a hunchback and his cathedral. Screw the animated movie.
Review: The Workings of Fate are at hand here. The word FATE made an impact on Victor Hugo when he visited Notre Dame Cathedral and found an imprint of the word on the wall. He wrote the novel as an attempt to save the cathedral from being demolished. There was ...

Pros: A gripping, captivating, well-written and emotional book
Cons: NOT a children's book, very violent, sexually explicit and graphic at times.
Review: Assuredly the person who categorized this book in the Children's section has never read it. I wouldn't let anyone under 14 touch this with a 10 foot pole. While Hunchback is one of my favored books, it is not for the innocent or faint hearted.

Pros: A lot of exciting plot twists. The book is different than I had expected it to be.
Cons: Has a lot of vulgarity and a sad ending.
Review: As a youth many of my friends were required to read this book in English classes. For some reason I always got around it. After recently reading this book I am sorry it took me so long to pick it up. I chose to read the unabridged version.

Pros: very realistic portrayal of humanity
Cons: A few long slow spots
Review: This is perhaps the darkest tale I have ever read. It begins in mirth and ends in death. It explores the depths of the human conscious and reveals that perhaps you are not the good person that you believe yourself to be. One who believes himself to be...

Pros: A lot of caracters and a lot of actions
Cons: To perfect!
Review: Wow, I just read this book 1 month ago and I have to say it's an amazing book. It may be 700 pages long but when you are near the end, you try not to read to much because you don't want to finish it. You get attached to the caracters and you feel the way ...

Pros: Emotional and Sympathetic
Cons: For some style is hard to read.
Review: The Hunchback of Notre Dame remains a classic tale of betrayal, lost love, and eternal longings. This story is haunting and beautiful, in a simple, yet powerful manner, that speaks to the very soul.
The story is told by the author, Victor... |
