The Hunchback of Notre Dame Audiobook

" It was for the first time that I read an author describing the architecture of a city coupled with the city's history and it absolutely got me hooked onto architecture. However I did not like the way the story was built up, maybe it was a famous book at the time and the writing must have appealed to the masses more then due to its writing style, but it did not do the same trick for me. "

" I was amazed by Victor Hugo' style. This story is captivated me as a kid, thanks to the Disney's version, now, all grown I decided to read it. This is not definitely Disney's version, the atmosphere settled in the story is quite dark and cruel, I guess this story is full of cruelness. The characters are like a gift box, you don't know what it's inside. There was a point where I felt sorry for some of the characters(Esmeralda and Frollo) and I must say, Disney's Frollo is more evil than in the book. Amazing amazing amazing, I highly recommend it "

" Too bad Disney mis-lead little minds about this story. Victor Hugo has much more to say in the real thing! "

" Marvelous prose detracted by the melodramatic story line to the modern reader "

" The book is way different from the movies. Hugo is a master story teller. "

" Easily one of the best books I have read in a long time. "

" Disney, has corrupted this book. "

" Fantastic book. The ending was gorgeously sad. In case that scares anyone off, let me assure you - the cute little goat lives. :D "

" Nothing like a good classic to perk the senses "

" The story started off slow and tedious -- Hugo took his time introducing his characters. I was bored. About halfway thru the action really picked up and I was hooked, so the boring parts were all worth it. "

" Much more tragic than the Disney remake would lead one to believe. "

" Good book with strong characters and a good ending. I found the lengthy detail of the architecture of Paris through the ages a little long winded but overall really enjoyable "

" Too bad no one is reading Hugo anymore, this is one of my all time favourites. "

" A touching tale of love and humanity the world has cherished for ages. Hugo is brilliant as he shows how light can be found even in this cruel and dark world if we have the heart to embrace it. "

" There were some parts that my eyes would just glaze over and I would zone out, but all the other parts were beautiful. Definitely worth rereading! "

" E X C E L E N T E. "

" Although this doesn't compare to Les Miserables, Hugo can really tell a tale. The man seriously needed an editor. bookxray.blogspot.comt "

" Learned a lot about Paris and general culture of 18th century France "

" Heartbreaking. I'm sad Disney butchered this story. "

" Tied as one of the three best books ever written! "
