Les Misérables is set in Paris after the French Revolution. In the sewers and backstreets, we encounter "the wolf-like tread of crime", and assassination for a few sous is all in a day's work. We weep with the unlucky and heart-broken Fantine, and we exult with the heroic revolutionaries of the barricades; but above all we thrill to the steadfast courage and nobility of soul of ex-convict Jean Valjean, always in danger from the relentless pursuit of the diabolical Inspector Javert.

I began listening to this audio book in the heat of a summer's day, in the middle of summer, and ended it today as a great snow falls, blanketing everything in white on a mid winter's afternoon in February, as the light fades from the sky. I feel profoundly blessed to have heard this story in it's entirety. Possibly one of the longest audio experiences I have ever had. It does have it's digressions at times, that feel like it it taking you out of the experience, but always seems to rebound to the grace and beauty of the story. The reader was extraordinary addling such life to the characters and events, and gives it such a French color. Granted I gave up on it several times and listened to other audio books in between, but something always drew me back. If you stick with it, it will take on you on one of the most remarkable journey's of a life time.

An Extraordinary Journey

You might want to listen to this book when you now you have nothing better to do because the first half of this book is so so sad and some times it gets boring the narrater was so great and he was the reason why I finished the book

It took some time but i loved it

I loved this wishing it would never end even though it is so long. An absolute Gem. The narrator is incredible. His different voices and French accent made this experience so wonderful

At 67 hours, this wonderful classic could easily be a slog even with a decent narrator, but Bill Homewood is such a fine actor you can visualize every moment and every character. (Highly recommend his narration of The Count of Monte Cristo too.) I listen to most books at 2x speed but am listening to this one at the full 67 hours because it’s such a pleasure.

Like story time with Professor Dumbledore
