Les Miserables

To say that I liked the book would be an understatement. If a book makes you cry, it's usually because you relate to whatever is going on. You've experienced a similar loss, similar love, similar hurt, similar hate. And I don't think that you can truly learn to appreciate or love something until you understand it or relate to it.

I cried!

It was a fantastic story about the life of the convict Jean Valjean. How he turned his life to God and how he raised a child. He learned to love his daughter and eventually gave everything for her. His whole life went unappreciated, unnoticed, and unrecognised.

I think that everyone can learn a lesson from the selfless humility of the man who gave all to preserve what he loved.

If you haven't read it yet do.
