aside from the Gospels, and actually the entirety of the Bible, i think Les Miserables is the greatest story ever told... we know this story inside out in our family... we’ve read the book, we’ve listened to the audio numerous times, we’ve watched every version of it, so it seems... (did not care for the Liam Neeson version)... if there ever comes a time in my lifetime where Fahrenheit 451 becomes a reality, Les Miserables would be the book i would choose to memorize... except that my 12-year old son already has that taken care of... he is a big Victor Hugo fan... at this very moment, Hunchback is his favorite piece of literature...
I love the book and the musical. I see the movie tomorrow night. In my opinion, the musical is the greatest musical ever written.
