Another example is Les Miserables. That book is fantastic. I'm at a loss for adjectives. I haven't really read anything since, but I loved that book, and I loved Jean Valjean, and hated Thenardier.
But the the book takes a little while to start, then just when it does it changes characters, and Hugo takes forever to describe things which have very little to do with the story or characters. So I bored reading when Hugo suddenly began building a new story arc at the height of the last one. Even still the ending was tearful.
Haaah, I wish I loved reading as I did when I was a boy.
- bentoner 17y agoI agree Les Miserables is worth finishing, and I eventually did finish it, about two years after starting. It was my "gym book." I'd read it while on the cardio machines at the gym, and only allowed myself to read it there, so as to provide encouragement to go and to stay longer. (This was at Caltech where reading at the gym is normal: holders for books are provided.)
