Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. The idea is to open your current read to a random page and share a few sentences. And try not to include spoilers!
Yes, I just did this one last week. The good news is that there continues to be text worth quoting! I liked these lines of dialogue:
“The gallows lead to hell.”
“That is a rousing fire.”
“Jehan, Jehan! The end will be bad!”
“The beginning at least will have been good.”
There is something Shakespearean, I think, in this repartee. As I said in my mid-way-through review, Hugo is at his best in narrative (or dialogue!), when he is pithy and entertaining. Still enjoying this one, on the whole.
