Tom Ingram _om_ngram — This story opened my eyes to an era and situation I knew nothing about. I enjoyed reading this and fell in love with the characters. It was interesting to see how they changed by the end of the book, some of the characters, anyway. Now I want to see the movie. . .

Hytomi Chan hytomi — This is the story of Jean Valjean, a convict freshly out of prison after serving nineteen years hard labor for stealing a loaf of bread. The original sentence was five years; unsuccessful escape attempts and the resulting additional time pushed it to a grand total of nineteen years. He believed that his sentence was grossly out of proportion to his crime, and by the time of his release he had built up a tremendous bitterness toward society. This bitterness was only intensified by the rejection and scorn which he experienced in attempting to find work and lodging immediately after his release; he was determined to have his revenge against society and against God in some form or fashion. But an unthinkable act of mercy and generosity by a saintly small-town bishop drastically alters the trajectory of Valjean’s life. From that point on, Valjean determines to live as an honest man, and through the rest of the story he struggles–quite imperfectly at times–to become an honest man. Javert, an extremely zealous police chief who once supervised Valjean’s work gang, is never far behind, and is determined to have Valjean back in prison for breaking parole. Monsieur and Madame Thenardier, the owners of an inn in Montfermeil, are also pursuing Valjean for their own corrupt and dishonest ends. The story takes us from one end of France to the other, from the very top of Parisian society to the very bottom, from Waterloo to the July Revolution of 1830 and the student-led uprising of 1832 which serves as the story’s climax. --Submitted by Joseph Derbes

Sergio Mussano _32e2 — I was loving this book until about 60 or 70 pages from the end when it just seemed to run out of steam. The ending just didn't match the momentum of the rest of the book. But it is a page-turner until then and I learned a lot about American history incidentally.
