This extraordinary historical French gothic novel, set in Medieval Paris under the twin towers of its greatest structure and supreme symbol, the cathedral of Notre-Dame, is the haunting drama of Quasimodo, the disabled bell-ringer of Notre-Dame, as he struggles to stand up to his ableist guardian Claude Frollo, who also wants to commit genocide against Paris’ Romani population.

I need to be honest here and admit that when I was getting into reading this book, I was fully prepared to not like this book because I felt like it wasn’t one of the books I typically love to read. But now that I have finally read this one, I gotta say that I love this book a lot. But as always I will explain everything in this review. 

First of all the story in this book is very very good. It has the gothic vibe to it which I always cant help myself but love, and we also get French in the 1480s which also made me like this book more. 

There is something about the story which really made it very fun and interesting for me to read it even thou this book isn’t one of the books I typically love. The story has an amazing gothic atmosphere and the story is like a bitter sweet tragedy themed. 

The story is very tragedy, but it doesn’t fail to be interesting, enjoyable and very attention grabbing. While I was reading this book I couldn’t stop reading it and if I wasn’t reading this book I just couldn’t stop thinking about this book and what would happen next in the story.

The characters in this book are so very well made. Which really made me give this book some extra points for doing that. Every character in this book has a lot of personality to them which I personally like I lot and it makes me always give the book extra points for. 

The main character is so amazing. He’s very different from the typical main character I’ve got to know in other books. The main character struggles with good and bad a lot, and he is disabled. He is also half-blind and almost completely deaf which isn’t the dream life we image our typical main character to have in the end. 

But at the same time the main character but also the rest of the characters in this book are very complex which make them feel like real human beings rather than fictional characters in a book which were written a very long time ago 

The narrative of this book is very very good. Because it sucks you right into the plot and it doesn’t let your attention and interest go until the very end of this book.  Which for me personally doesn’t happen a lot. 

The ending of this book is very powerful and just wow. I cant say much about it without spoiling the ending for those of you who haven’t read the book yet but are interested in doing so. But let me tell you that the ending is very tragic but at the same time very good which makes worth reading this book which is over 550+ pages long (or at least the edition of this book I got was over 550+ long).

The writing style which this book got is very good, and it makes the the whole story and characters feel more time era appropriate. Since this book has a lot of old English writing in it which for me is either a hit or a miss, but in this book it was a big hit for me personally. 

I Give This Book 4 / 5
