Query: Finely Crafted Tale

I had no idea what this book would be about, all I knew that there was a Broadway musical based on the book. Well I was quite pleased as it was an intriguing read. I love books that are long because you really come to know the characters. Jean Valjean is a great role model for life, I believe the author made him a little bigger than life but that's OK. Diction is always a challenge with books this old, but it is a great example of a master writer weaving a spell binding story. Parts I don't like, I might have a French last name but am very ignorant of the French language and culture. I was tired of trying to pronounce French words in my head. I was also was surprised by how the author handled Javert in the end of the story.
