Victor Hugo (1802–1885) was a French Romantic poet, novelist and dramatist, author of Les Misérables and The Hunchback of Notre-Dame.

Born 1802, died 1885. Key works include Les Misérables (1862) and Notre-Dame de Paris (1831).

The single review praises Les Misérables as an "eternal masterpiece" with powerful characters and drama. The book's length (~1400 pages) is warned against for lazy readers. Historical digressions are called tedious by some but defended as useful. Hugo occasionally inserts himself into the narrative; overall the reviewer admires the writing but gives a moderate rating.

For:Readers of classic literature, students, and fans of 19th-century French novels.

 Last night, I just finished reading "Les Misérables" by Hugo. Lazy people who don't want to read 1400 pages of a book should abstain, even if the book doesn't bore you or prevent you from reaching the end.
