And btw, never say that the book is without any emotions, Victor Hugo was one of France' greatest writers
The old Islandic viking stories might be some of their greatest literary works, but that doesn't make them very emotional. I've read a few, and they were boring as... Well they were very boring, because none of the caracters had any emotions. They just acted. In one of the stories a duke (or something) would have to execute someone because he rode a horse the duke told him not to ride, and sure, he didn't want to do this, but he executed him without feeling anything. "Sorry I'll have to do this" SPLAT his head was chopped off. And after five pages (or something) I discovered Les Miserables was the same, the characters had no emotions, they just acted (like the bishop changeing living residence with the hospital. He never explained why...). And prehaps Victor Hugo is one of France greatest writers ever, but that doesn't make Les Miserables any better on that front! And it doesn't make it too hard, it makes it too boring. I'm going to try Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë now.
