Okay, so I have to admit, I am right now about two thirds through the book only. Maybe I should write this when I have finished, but I still do it now. Ever since reading Les Miserables I have been in awe of Victor Hugo`s genius. So I told myself to read the Hunchback of Notre Dame. I have to say it was rather boring at first until it got more and more packing and emotional. And now I am at a point where I have become addicted. As in Les Miserables I really grew onto the characters. And I do not know how he does it, but Victor Hugo always makes my heart leap out to the villains. I mean, first Javert and now Claude Frollo. I am sure of the first. Let`s finish reading and see about the second. Still, he does portray very realistic and worth pitying "villains". <br><br>Oh and I saw the Disney movie and now that I am reading the book I find myself hating it afterwards. I know it is for children, but almost the entire plot is changed. And what they again did and what I can`t stand with Disney is that all "grey" characters are always ugly and just bad. I mean, who acually likes the Disney Claude Frollo and the end?<br>
