So, Jean and Cosette have been living at the convent, and I’ll be starting Book 3 tonight.
-
Yay! Stuff can start really happening now! 😀
-
Just had several chapters about urchins of Paris, then about Paris itself, then about a specific urchin, and I know exactly who he is already, poor lad.
Have not yet been reacquainted with Jean and Cosette, and it’s been 8 or 9 years.
-
-
Aaaahhh yes!!! *hugs him* He’s amazing. And a very poor lad.
I think it comes relatively soon. Unless…well, maybe not as soon as I thought; OH, probably not. This part you’re on in general might be the one for introducing the rest of the cast. Which is still very good.
-
So the story hasn’t really begun yet? Wow, and so much has happened already. XD
But I guess it’s like Count of Monte Cristo. I mean, I thought the story was going to be about Edmund Dantes’ life, then he went to jail and lost a lot of his life in there, and then suddenly it was also about the children of the people who sent him there. XD
-
-
I KNOW. But in the grand scheme of the book, yes, that was still mostly set-up. Crazy. XD
Heh, sort of. XD Jean Valjean is most definitely the main character of the book, but several more characters enter the stage soon and are also really important. And all the foiling to be going on. O.o Zis be one of the best books I have ever read for foil…[Read more]

I just started reading about the convent. It is very interesting. Interesting in that, Why on earth would anyone make themselves go through that???-
Too bad for Javert. XD
EXACTLY!
*hushed whisper* Because it makes you holier, y’know.
Aahh. I’ve always felt sorry for people who think convents or monasteries or monastic life in general are the best way to a life of service 100% devoted to God. It’s kinda sad. Of course, not all are as drastic as THAT one, but still. -

Yeah, he is pretty sweet. Total heel-face-turn.
So Jean Valjean, with Cosette is now trapped between a dead-end, a waiting guard, and Javert’s group. So I dunno how this is gonna play out. 😀 But I am loving this story.
-
Yay!!! *shivers* Oh that series of scenes is so nerve-wracking.

Your next rather long tangent will be on convents and their history, morality, etc. I found it rather an interesting section. You might even be past it now though. Which is better. ;P

@emma-flournoy Oki, I’m not 100% certain was is going on (another tangent I think XD), but we’ve just kind of gotten to know Marius’ grandfather, and learn about Marius himself.
-
YESSS yes yes yes yes that’s it. 😀 Kinda neat story huh? Esp. with his father and the tie-in with Thenardier @ the Battle of Waterloo. Ick.
And if you think Marius is any degree of overdramatic now, just wait. XD-
I don’t know if he’s any degree of overdramatic. I hardly know the boy. XD
-
@emma-flournoy Okay, so Marius has just been learning about his father, and is now estranged from his grandfather and aunt, and just left home.
I like Marius, so far. He kind of reminds me a bit of Albert and Maximilian.
-
-
Aha okay, I guess you hadn’t gotten to much of his drama yet when I asked. ;P I was thinking specifically then of when he was going through all those changes in his political views, and generally doing drastic things like spreading his arms and yelling out the open window something about Napoleon. Yeah, his grandfather is a bit tough. *rubs hands*…[Read more]
-
That was pretty OTT. XD I mean, his change of his political views was realistic (he was learning about a whole other side he’d never been told about before) if a little rushed. We only just met him, so we might not have cared about all that just yet. 😉 But opening the window was a bit OTT. XD But yeah, I think I’m going to like Marius.

XD I’ve learned to be wary of supposed deaths, and when they don’t find the body, well!Yes, she is pretty cute. But she was like a scared little animal, especially when the stranger went out and brought back the doll for her. Like, “Whoa!” I know I’d be wary.

Aye, ’tis. Wow, 20 years. I can’t imagine working on a story for a whole year (seriously, my first drafts get written in months; but I…[Read more]
-
YAY!!!
Heh. It sounds absolutely crazy. I don’t think he was working on it constantly though; think he had few-year gaps in between sometimes. One thing I’m pretty sure I know for sure though (;P XD) is that the current version is the first version—his first draft. Is that not insane? That is insane.
-
So, apparently Jean Valjean drowned. But they never recovered the body, and already Cosette has just met a man who has been described similarly to Jean, so I’m putting my money on he’s not dead. 😛
So he was working on his first draft for 20 years… 😐 *Sees my future dissolved before my eyes to only be working on the one book* XD

*snickers* Good plan.
POOR COSETTE, RIGHT?! Isn’t she the cutest lil’ thing?

Righto, he does have real crime of his own again. They are justified in wanting him back behind bars; what they don’t understand is that he’s truly changed, and whether or not that gives any cause for leniency of any sort. Mercy vs. Justice. *smirk* But it’s still a tough question.

Yes, but he did break the law after his parole anyway (stealing from the bishop and the boy), so it wouldn’t be just because he’s Jean Valjean.
