Les Misérables. I love Hugo's way of writing, and his descriptions of Jean grappling with his conflicting feelings or breaking down when he was finally shown love were breath taking. There were certain parts of the book in which I couldn't put it down. But the chapters that described the battle of Waterloo and the layout of the Paris sewer system bored me to tears.
