The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Abridged) Audiobook

" I completely appreciated this book, although it wasn't a "nice" story. I only wish I would have read it before we went to Paris last fall. Hugo includes a lot of history and describes Paris as it was in 1680 and earlier. "

" Great book although Victor Hugo kind of went crazy on this one and spend tens of pages describing every little tiny detail of Paris and church and nature etc. etc. so if you skip that part the story is very well written. "

" I wanted to give this 5 stars, as I did really enjoy it, but unfortunately I don't feel that I can due to the fact that it just takes a while to get into and the long, ardous passages about the history of Paris and of Notre-Dame. While very interesting, it just felt out of place and took me a while to get through. Once I hit the actual story though, then I was completely engrossed and loved it. "

" A great book to teach about labeling people. It had a similar feel to crime and punishment but wasn't as oppressive. I definitely prefer Les Miserables to The Hunchback of Notre Dame. "

" I have never been a huge fano this book because of two main reasons: there are no characters that I really feel for and the book tends to pontificate about social and religious ills. I guess I like parts of it but overall cannot say it stands up well. "

" like a bad mexican telenovela "

" Hugo creates wonderful characters that reflects aspects of human interaction and inner turmoil. Plus, Hugo gives you an insight to history in a fun way. "

" This book is fairly depressing and does not have a happy ending, but I loved it in spite of that. The characters are fascinating, the plot was well-developed and I loved the way it was written. I didn't have high expectations but I really enjoyed this book. "

" cannot. bring. myself. to. finish. this. book. "

" I enjoyed this book. Victor Hugo is an excellent author and is very good at describing things so that you can actually picture them in your mind. "

" Gloriosa opera d'arte in prosa. Dettagliatissimo e coloratissimo romanzo d'amore e mistero. "

" WHOAAAAAA it is one of the best books that I have ever read........... "

" Is there anything to say? Almost everyone knew this thanks for cartoons and films. "

" Mmmm...definitely not my favorite classic to date. Terrible balance betweeen the plot and waxing philosophical about all things Parisian, and then some... "

" Pretty cool, but I didn't enjoy the fact that everyone was trying to take advantage of poor Esmerelda. Every character was a tragic figure, destined to be unhappy in one way or another. "

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

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