I hate I DESPISE Marius. I really do. When Jean Valjean celebrates his apparent death and starts cheering I started cheering too.

He's lost meeeee.
I have no more patience anymore. When I straight up start skipping you know you've lost me. I NEVER skipped anything in Gormenghast, I made myself read every word and slow down because I was LOVING it. Victor had my attention in the first half, but as soon as he lost it, I no longer care to slow down to carefully read.

HE'S LOST ME dammit he's lost me
Since about page 600 I've been uninterested, bored and genuinely disliking my time reading, BUT NOW HE'S alienated me completely w the romance nonsense I completely disagree with.
That said, I love Jean Valjean so damn much I am already sad in advance.

Ngl to you Idc about Marius. I miss Jean & Cosette. I like the bookish gardener but Idc about Mariusss

I am swallowing this up in chunks, gladly. I could go faster, but enjoy the slow progress. I dread the day when I run out.

I am IN and I am loving it. I am beginning to cherish each moment I spend talking to Hugo about his little interests. I can't see it going under 5☆ unless I REALLY dislike the ending.

I SURVIVED the first 50 page digression, about Napoleon and Waterloo. Did I skip the entire thing? Absolutely. He can go on his tangents all he wants, I'm skimming my eyes over them and moving on.

1000 pages to go. I am, unfortunately, attached to Jean Valjean. I know that will come back to bite me in the ass. Onto Cosette.

I teared up at that lament for the role of women at that time and laughed at his 2 page monologue on women.
