Los Miserables (Les Miserables) (Abridged) Audiobook

" Yay, I finally finished listening to it! Aside from all the bunny trails, which I skipped through, it was very good. Highly recommended. And much better and more nuanced than the movie/Broadway play. "

" I really liked the book. There are many things that are in the book that are not in the movie. I definitely recommend the book even though it is 1200 pages. It is totally worth it. LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "

" Very difficult to get through... "

" It was actually a 3 hour abridged radio theater version I listened to on CD, but it was awesome. Minus all the history and politics of Hugo's full length tale, it had plenty of drama, action, and of course, forgiveness.... "

" Maybe the best book I read during college. "

" I was a little intimidated with the length of this book but every page was worth reading. Jean Val jean was an amazing character! This book is so wonderful and one that is life changing. So happy I read it before watching the movie or play. Definitely on my top ten books I have read! "

" One of my all time favorites. "

" There is a lot of unnessary material,I became quite bored reading about Waterloo,I wanted to get back to the main characters in the story, "

" The hero seems that is engaged with bad luck and ruthless destiny and unfortunately, there are too many like him out there! "

" Les Mis is my all time favorite book. I cant watch the movie because I dont want to distort my feelings elicited by reading the book itself. It changed my perspectives, engulfed me, and opened my eyes in so many ways. "

" I got this for free on the kindle and have tried several times to read it and can't get through it. One of the most boring, dry books I have ever tried to read. Have know idea how they get a movie/ musical anything from this. will try some day to finish it. "

" I read the unabridged version translated by Julie Rose. It was a chore getting through pieces of it (300 pages in the Battle of Waterloo?), but I really enjoyed the translation and found the story to be every bit as powerful as I expected it to be. "

" One of the best books we ever read in high school - still think of it to this day "

" For the most part I loved the story, but sometimes the long history lessons were tedious. "

" What a remarkable and timeless story!! "

" Excellent book. Must read for all high schoolers. "

" My mother gave this book to me when I was eleven....I think that explains much of how I see the world. I ended up on a long journey into domestic novels--led me all the way to my dissertation eventually. Don't read if you hate sensory detail! "

" I started to read the unabridged novel, than found an abridged reading at the library. Both are fabulous, I still need to finish the unabridged novel. "

" I understood it alot better than the play which was good. But that might have something to do with all of my classmates talking above the show so I couldn't really understand it. But yep it was a good book about a war and two people that fall in love and all that good stuff. "

" This may be my favorite book of all time. Very moving story that has everything: drama, action, romance, tragedy, set in historic places and times and covering decades. "

" The unabridged took me forever to read, but it really was quite interesting. Not only was the plot enhanced, but I learned a lot of strange yet interesting things about convents, sewers, and little French children who live on the street. Would definitely recommend to anyone who likes thick books. "

" I have only read this abridged before and I loved that, and so far I really like it unabridged too, lengthy Waterloo scenes and all. "

" buku para pemberontak yang menyentil ssecara terang2an keadaan di paris pada jammannya..gw suka banget sama Mr.Jean Valjeannya "

" I read the abridged version. It's language, world, narration, characters, and themes did not capture my attention. I finished it barely. I will say that all my friends thoroughly loved and enjoyed the book. "

" A must-read! Nothing more, nothing less! Victor Hugo captures France and the life of its people in a captivating way... to re-read, and re-read over and over again. "

" Not bad. Has fabulous parts, intensely boring parts. "

" This is my favorite book. I am not sure why I like it so much, but I like the style of writing as well as the story. Grew up listening to the musical on cd, and have seen the play. Book is still the favorite of all. "
