I could just as well not read A bird's eye view of Paris, because this chapter feels like a joke on the expense of the reader. But I'll not skip it. I'll read through and complain it. Tyvm, I'm sorry if you don't like to hear me whine, but that's just what I'll do. These last two chapters could've not been; I'd be a happier man had they not been. I'm sure they're infamous. I don't want to look it up because I've had

Not quite ten pages. Anyhow, I'm liking this book so much, it's so engaging and gripping. La Esmeralda is so mysterious and beautiful, and she carries a green glass in a sachet; this imperfection of the 'gem' makes me like her even more. She pouts on the regular, btw, and I love that. Gringoire is great, too, but his mentor is not a good guy as far as I can tell. Oh btw I never watched the Disney movie, so all is new

What a beautiful wedding! What a beautiful wedding says the Duke of Egypt to the King of Galilee. Yes, but what a shame, what a shame, the poor Groom is a poet!

I'm enjoying the way this story is unfolding! I still have my gripes about how the author will lose focus sometimes, and two or three paragraphs will go by which tell you nothing, until you are brought back to the thing that actually matters. I never thought I'd say this but these parts make me wish for an abridged version. Regardless, the plot shall advance and we shall see what happens to Quasi and Esmeralda.

Okay you guys, hear me out... This book is good

Look, I'm trying something new here. French literature is usually out of my comfort zone; I don't know why, but this has always been the case. My mom says this is a great book and she was the one who recommended Don Quixote to me, so I'm trusting her. This book opens with all of the things I don't like about French literature, but I promised to give Notre-Dame de Paris 130 pages, so that's what I'm going to do.
