Very surprised by this one, it completely blew me away. I felt I had a real grasp of this story being a big fan of the old movies (silent and 30s one). Hey, I even love the Disney musical. But I never anticipated the original novel to be sooo poignant, sooo heartbreaking, and sooo tragic. I didn't think it would be so drastically different from the old films, and immediately after reading I felt really surprised as to why that was. It's one of the most powerful stories I have ever read and I can't recommend it enough. Hopefully an accurate film will be made soon because it definitely deserves a correct depiction (maybe there's a french version somewhere?)
