Les Misérables, a masterpiece by Victor Hugo, is the touching and heroic story of a man named Jean Valjean. Jean Valjean was a galley slave, condemned for stealing some bread to feed his sister's hungry family. When he was released from the galleys 19 years later, things happened, and everything changed.

Les Misérables was suspenseful and intense all the way through. I especially liked Marius, who would stop at nothing to find his true love, Cosette, and who was brave enough to help lead the French Revolution's Resistance. I also enjoyed the intricate language spoken in Les Misérables. That is why I love this book.

The beginning can be a bit confusing if you don't know anything about France or if you don't speak French. The language throughout the whole book is beautiful though. I love how the author immediately fills in the setting and zooms in on the main character, Jean Valjean. One of my favorite minor characters is the Bishop.

# data[].attributes.body
In the beginning, I think the author intended you to hate Jean Valjean, but have pity for him. I mean, he was a thief, and he stole from a Bishop as soon as he was released from the galleys. I definitely went along with that. It was not until his change of heart that I really started to like him.

My favorite part of the book is in the beginning, when Jean Valjean felt the presence of God right after he had escaped from the Bishop's property. He had just stolen money from a boy. He realized he had sinned and then he set out to do good in the world. Afterwards, he became the mayor of Montreal. He would do anything for his people.
