Exactly what I needed right now

Some chapters hit differently depending on where you are in life. I think I needed to hear Les Misérables right now. Perfect timing, perfect book.

Highly recommend to anyone who loves this genre

Good balance of depth and accessibility. You don't need a background in this topic to follow along, but it never feels dumbed down either. Well done.

Listened during a long drive — made the trip

Finished it in four sittings. Usually takes me weeks to get through an audiobook. Says a lot about how gripping Les Misérables is.

More depth than the title suggests

I almost skipped this one because the title didn't grab me. Really glad I didn't. The content inside is miles ahead of what the description suggests.
