The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo

So, finally I did complete the book last week. It was again a kid's book, meaning that I read the abridged version which took me probably 5 hours when you take out the frequent breaks.

The ending was kind of sad and it fails me why we would want our kids to read books where almost everyone dies in the end. Oops! Did I just give a spoiler?

But as a classic, it is a good book and it gives us a peek into the lives of people in 19th century Paris.

I would still recommend this one despite the heavy feeling I got after finishing it.

Nancy Drew! Really?

I am faring really bad at this pact.

I picked a book and left it mid-way. And then when I actually did read one whole book, it turns out to be a kids' book. I read "Nancy Drew and The Mystery of the Missing Mascot (Nancy Drew, #119)" by Carolyn Keene. Well, what to say? It was a good book though. It kept me hooked until the very end of the four hours it took for me to finish the book.

I have again picked a children's book now. But, at least this one is a classic. I am reading "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" by Victor Hugo. You see the only time I am getting to read is the four hours I spend in a library in a pre-primary school on Saturdays. *smile*

With some luck, I will finish this book tomorrow. And I would also try to carry one of my own to read as well.
