The first time I read this book, I read the unabridged version. The opening scene was one of the most profound things I had read. The sporadic meandering scenes of history brought me to a stop somewhere near the musings on the battle of Waterloo. This time I am reading an abridged version for pacing. I just read through the scene between the Bishop and Jean Valjean. Powerful. Moved me to tears.

“Javert had always known he had a superior – the Chief of Police. Now he discovered another superior--God. This new chief, God, was a perplexing threat. Javert had lost his bearings in His unexpected presence; he did not know what to do with this superior. He wished to be rid of Him. But how does one manage to send in his resignation to God?”
