Les Misérables: A Short & Slightly Sarcastic Summary

Let's be blunt: Les Misérables is 1460 pages long. It drags on about subjects that are, for the most part, irrelevant to the story for chapters at a time. The physical book is actually the size of a brick.

Have you been roped into reading this monster of a book for a class? Do you wish you could read the brick, but don't have the time or mental capacity or perseverance to do so? Do you want to read only the interesting parts but don't want to bother going through the whole thing to find them? Are you a fan of the musical/movie and am interested in seeing just how long they could have made it?

Well, you're in luck, because I'm going to do all of that for you! I am spending my entire summer reading all of Les Misérables for both personal satisfaction and a class, so why not help others while I do so?

As I battle my way through the brick, I will be writing short and, most likely, slightly sarcastic summaries of each chapter. I will try my best to include the important and interesting parts while hopefully adding a bit of humor that SparkNotes won't give you.

I will update regularly, as I calculated it out and have to read about 20 pages a day to be done by the end of the summer, and also am going to use this as an easy way to skim back over chapters once I actually need this for my class.

Enjoy!

Edit: It turns out that Wattpad has a limit on how long your stories can be, so this is not all of Les Mis. I have a second and third book that contain the rest.
