Very underrated. Knowing Hugo, I actually WANTED to read the book for the nonfiction passages about the Channel Islands I knew would be in there, and you can imagine my joy in seeing that no less than the first 50 pages were just pure exposition in a way only Hugo could do. Surely I am getting to the level where I can say I would re-read Notre-Dame de Paris for the architecture passages.
