Reply to comment by juan-love in Les Miserables by Victor Hugo... by Johnhfcx

Yes Juan. I saw that as well. Personally I didn't really like it. It just didn't appeal to me for some reason. I prefer the stage musical, and Victor Hugo's original text, which is actually two or three books, altogether. Although there are some versions which compile them into one!?

I much preferred the book as being so much richer but as someone who just doesn't like musicals I appreciated the bbc version, although I agree it was far from perfect. I thought their war and peace adaptation hit the mark much better.
