Another big one, hope it’s worth it. So far it’s been ok, a little boring, but I’m only 25 pages in and don’t know anything. The description of the guillotine was great, wonder how many people will be executed throughout the book. I also thought this was clean “If the soul is left in darkness, sins will be committed. The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but he who causes the darkness.”🥶

Finished the Cosette section. Really good story but the philosophy/Hugo’s thoughts on religion in “Petit Pipcus” and “A Parenthesis” back to back was rough.

I really liked the Jean Valjean chapters and it made Myriel’s intro worth it. The way it ended with Petite Gervais and him at the doorstep was great. As for Fantine, her section annoyed me because Tholomyés waffled constantly. “These young men were insignificant; … neither good nor bad, neither learned nor ignorant, neither talented nor stupid; handsome in that charming April of life we call twenty.”
