I've listened to a few of the french-musical version of Les Miserables - they're "On My Own" is superb - and look forward to listening to these.

I just find it really interesting and I love the bit when he talks about how all the various noises in Paris form this giant collective symphony. Anyway, I wouldn't say that this book is on a par with Les Miserables either. That book is one of my favourites ever and I just love its characters so much. I wasn't as attached to the characters in this. I still think that this book is a powerful read and that it's truly beautifully-written though. I still really enjoyed it and I'll suspect I'll love it even more on a re-read.<br /><br />Have you ever heard of the French-Canadian musical Notre Dame de Paris? I've recently discovered that musical. The songs are gorgeous and it's mostly very faithful to the book (much more so than the Disney film which I still love). I recommend YouTubing "Tu Vas Me Detruire" and "Dechire". Those are my two favourite songs. They're just so gorgeous :)<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5St9zF849o<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7vN2RL0te4Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08112080523452829647noreply@blogger.com
