Loved this book - it was a selection from my former book club a few years ago! Didn't know there was a movie coming out....

I loved this book! I hadn't been reading much before and after Cricket was born. And I missed it. This was one of the first books I read when I got back into reading. The whole story is just so good. I am definitely interested in seeing the movie!

yes!! I had to read it before the movie comes out. I will admit, I was much happier with the endings than I expected!

At 720 pages I'm HALFWAY thorough Les Mis. I don't think I'm going to finish before book group on April 14. I re-watched the movie and they left so much out that it's hard to even follow at times. Such a great story, though.

Hmm, sounds like it should be my next audiobook. I've been wanting to read it for quite some time.
