This evening I happily closed the cover on Les Miserables for the last time. I was given two copies of this book by two separate people who told me that it was the greatest book of all time. Well, after 1463 endless pages, I can tell you that it was the most boring book I've ever read. The story, which I enjoyed, could have fit into 200 pages. The history and rhetoric? Mind numbing. It could drive a person insane (or at least to drink). Thank God it's over.
