Les Misérables

After 5 months I have finally finished reading Les Misérables!! And I now understand why this is called a masterpiece. There is so much detail and so much background info included in this book to make the readers understand the characters and their motives. And that does not only include the main characters of the plot but all those that have a hand in it, even if it was just one small scene in which they interacted with the main characters. And if someone told be that before I have read this book, I'd be like, why would I care about all this? Just give me the main characters, the story and the plot. But I have to say that I really love the structure of this book!! It made me care about these side characters and their stories and it was so quite exciting to me finding out why we are focusing on them later. I am still processing this book, the last part had a lot going on, so I managed to read it all in one sitting.
