Les Misérables Customer Reviews
:- 1.0 out of 5 stars from Shopaphobic -- Which edition to buy? : All of the reviews for all of the versions available on Amazon seem to be collected in one batch and then applied to each and every edition. I mistakenly ordered a version that had a couple of excellent translation reviews that turned out not to be for the edition I got. ( Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2019 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Don Quixote -- “The Maladies of the People Do Not Kill Man” : The canon is under attack, and yet many of us continue to read the classics. Of course we do not read them the way people did in the nineteenth century. We look for irony, parody and sarcasm; we fit them into our post-postmodern frame; we read between the lines; we mock the godlike narrator; we read ourselves into the texts. And needless to say, we complain: these novels are too long, they include too many digressions, they are implausible as stories, and most of them were written by white men. I wonder what will be said, one hundred years from now, of the contemporary books we revere. If something is said at all. Will people even read them? It seems to me that the proverbial fifteen minutes of fame keep getting shorter. ( Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2019 )
- 1.0 out of 5 stars from Miriam Cook -- Missing important sections of the story : The book is missing the entire part of the story where fantine lost her job, fell to prostitution, became ill, attacked Jean Val Jean, and was taken in by him. It doesn't have the part where he debated over whether to go to save champmathieau. Very disappointing that it's missing such vital parts of the story! ( Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2018 )
- 1.0 out of 5 stars from Kindle Customer -- Almost unreadable : The digital version came through to my reader with flaws that make it almost impossible to read. On almost every page multiple words are printed together (i.e. multiplewordsareprintedtogether). It is so hard to read I have given up trying. I cannot find anyplace on the Amazon digital order site to ask for a better copy or to even get a refund. I would not recommend this version of the book to anyone.

- 1.0 out of 5 stars from ChasP -- Pay more for a better translation : THIS IS THE HAPGOOD TRANSLATION and the rating is for the translation, not the novel. Amazon doesn't seem to like to list the translators but it can make a huge difference. I just got a Kindle, and having read Hunchback several years ago and having the Signet Classics Les Mis waiting on my shelf for a while, I decided this would be a good first hurdle for the Kindle. The hardcopy is so huge! Along the way I wondered why I seemed to be reading so slowly and having to re-read sections -- was I not adapting to the Kindle? -- and then I finally came across a phrase in this translation that really didn't make any sense at all. Maybe a word-for-word translation rather than an interpretation? - "...the great art: to make a little render to success the sound of a catastrophe..." I had another free download of the book, and found exactly the same translation. In the Signet Classics Fahenstock/MacAfee translation, however, it was in perfectly good English: "...the great art, to give a success something of the sound of a catastrophe..." Here's what's annoying: if I pull up the Signet Classics version on Amazon, it has link to buy it in Kindle edition, but the LINK'S TO THIS COMPLETELY INFERIOR TRANSLATION! Amazon doesn't offer a Kindle version of the Signet Classics translation so I'm looking elsewhere and using conversion software if I need to, then picking up where I left off in the Hapgood translation. Free is fine for public domain English-language books (Dickens, Twain) but I've learned my lesson with translations and will pay for premium. ( Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2013 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Joe S. -- Great Edition, Interesting Introduction, Superb Translation : I picked up a modern translation of Les Miserables recently and decided I didn't like it since it was overly-abridged and too modern. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 21, 2019 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Callum Kime -- A Masterpiece alongside War and Peace. (Everyman's Library Edition). : I consider War and Peace to be the greatest novel of all time. The beautiful family relations and activities, contrasted to the bravado war with its acts of heroism and dismay. It was a journey in which the characters grew culminating in a boring Historical essay. (But in all seriousness the actual ending is great). ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 1, 2021 )
- 1.0 out of 5 stars from GaryG -- This Kindle edition is RIDDLED with scanned-in typo errors; avoid !! : I've got hundreds of Kindle books, and a few have one or two basic typos; no problem. However, this edition of Les Miserables has very clearly had a MAJOR problem when being scanned in. Every page has many words concatenated together, likethis ! On just the very first page there are FOURTEEN such errors; example "He was anold man of about seventy-five years ofage". This makes it completely unreadable, so I'm asking Amazon to withdraw this edition until the problem is resolved. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 18, 2019 )
- 4.0 out of 5 stars from Islander -- Heavy going but well worth the effort in the end : This was by far the most difficult book I've ever read. If I hadn't already fully cognisant of the main story I've no doubt I would have given up the struggle. It was the comments of another reviewer who advised skipping some of the supporting chapters, which was easily done without any loss to the central theme of the book, that kept me going. The story is well enough rehearsed without me needing to comment on the plot. What made the book difficult to deal with was that, no matter what the situation in life of the characters, or whether they were good or bad people, all of them experienced hardship and sadness in one form or another. It would have been a relief to find some unqualified happiness in some of the pages but to the end life continued in a minor key and it was heavy going. It was beautifully written, and a great story told: I'm glad I've read it but nothing on earth would make me ever want to read anything else by Victor Hugo ! ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 18, 2016 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Ivan Proctor -- Thoughts of a Kindle reader : This is a wonderful, sprawling, majestic book. You can't help wondering what readers made of it at the time of publication a century and a half ago. Much fiction written then concerned the gentry or even the aristocracy and here is a profound account of poverty and struggle in many forms. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 13, 2011 )
