About this listen
Hugo describes early 19th-century France with a sweeping power that gives his novel epic stature. Among the most famous chapters are the account of the battle of Waterloo and Valjean's flight through the Paris sewers.

It's a Classic for a Reason
I follow Frederick Davidson to wherever he narrates. He had a unique gift.
Les Miserables is a tapestry of Justice and Mercy, for which I haven't seen a parallel outside Scripture.
Beware, French Literature pivots on the poignancy of death. Dry eyes only for cold hearts or unimaginative ones.

A perfect book
I struggled at first with the sneering tone in the narration, either that changed or I got used to it, but by about 3 hours in, I began to enjoy it and loved the narration by the end. I thoroughly loved this book, the story, the characters, the settings, the era, and the battles between characters and their conscience, which makes this for me a perfect read.

Terrible narrator
I know he’s famous for his narration but I found the reader’s voice unbearable. I’ve already dumped other books with him, but somehow I ended up with this one. His affected way of talking is likened to the camp comedian Tom Allen.
The fabulous story is what made me continue.
