Hunch Back of Notre Dame (Classic Horror Series)
This was difficult going. As ever with Hugo, there's an awful lot of very detaild description of things that are, of themsleves, quite interesting, but it doesn't half slow plot development. Things seem to happen in bursts with not a lot in the chapters in between. Maybe it took me too long to read it, maybe I didn't allow long enough to get really into it at once, but this was hard going.
