A review by sandralam
Manga Classics Les Miserables by Victor Hugo
5.0
**An electronic ARC provided by netgalley in exchange for an honest review.**
Wow, this was a fantastic adaptation of the classic!
My Thoughts:
1. I'm one of those readers who hasn't read Les Miserables mainly due to its length, so I was pleasantly surprised by much I enjoyed reading this manga edition. I would highly recommend this to those who have a hard time reading classics. It's a quick way to get a general idea about Les Mis without reading Victor Hugo's 1000+ page novel.
2. I was surprised by how well the author was able to condense 1000+ pages into a 300+ page manga. Considering how this is a simplified version of the original, the manga gives you the perfect amount of details you need to know.
3. What made reading this so easy were the illustrations and dialogue. The combination of the two were flawless and flowed perfectly with the story line.
4. I hope they continue to adapt more classics into manga because I absolutely loved reading this!
