Notre-Dame de Paris by Victor Hugo
3.0
Okay. I think my main problem with this book is that I read it in English. Maybe I could give it a better rating if I read it as a translated novel in my own native language.
Man, it was such labor to finish this book. It's not that Victor Hugo writes poorly. He's just... having this tendency to talk about A LOT of things, and not just stick to the essential characters. He takes a lot of time to write and explain ARCHITECTURE, and I think he also talked about printing? Or books. Whatever.
However, Quasimodo's and Esmeralda's tale is truly unfortunate.
This book is way too old for us to be really giving away spoilers, so I'll just say it: I kinda hoped they could get a happy ending. Especially Quasimodo. No one should be deserving that kind of life.
