Les Miserables (Ultimate Classics)

Rating:
Summary: Eponine: Truly the most fascinating character of the novel!
Review: I read Les Mis last year as an assignment for my high school English class and instantly feel in love with the story and characters (I ended up reading the abridged version 3 times).

Upon reading all of the other reviews, I was startled that nobody even mentioned the character of Eponine. She is the epitome of progress and definately the most intriguing, not to mention original, characters of the novel. She was brought up to lie and steal, but yet had room in her hardended heart to love Marius. At the beginning we see her as a bratty, jealous child and yet in the end she was a martyr. I feel Eponine made one of the most remarkable changes of attitude in the novel. Her progress is commendable. May we all have such great revelations.

Truly the most remarkable and moving book I've ever read. A must-read!
