The occasions made me a little busy though I should have been busier if not for the operation. So, this means less time to read and more time with a lot of other things. But I get to finish the book just a while ago. I am kind of affected by the way things went on the last book.
This is in fact one of the most tragic books I have read by far. This means that from the books I have read this year alone, and all those books I have read since I can remember. I thought this was something fairy-tale-ish, since the thought that comes to me whenever I hear the title is those drawings made by Walt Disney. Right now, I am still wondering what is the movie all about, considering what I have just read.
I am kinda sad because Quasimodo's life was never happy. As it said in the book:
Now, who really is the good? Who is the bad?
The twist is that they both fell in love. I was really quite surprised by the way each of them handled their emotions. Not to mention the actions they took just to be closed to the one they love.
The mystery of the pink shoe was revealed but I must say that I had the idea of what this was all about at some point in the story.
The good, the bad and the gypsy all died. Something that makes me wonder how the Walt Disney people presented this in the story, if they ever did at all.
As with Victor Hugo's style, I find it that, sometimes, due to the profoundness of the though of one of his characters, I feel that it was almost totally detached from the story. That it looks far too perfect to be a part of the story and that it can be distinguished as the thought of the writer himself, and not the ordinary common character.

He mused on the wretched lot that providence had meted out to him - how woman, and the joys of love, were destined to pass under his eye without his ever being more than a witness to the happiness of others.Everyone in that town sees him as a monster. But with his actions, he never was to me. Claude Frollo, on the other hand, was the good in the story. Or, was he really?

Some quotes:
I would rather be the head of the fly than the tail of a lion.
For, though one believes in nothing, there are moments in life when one accepts the religion of the temple nearest at hand.
It's often our best friends who make us fall.
There are two sides to every human act. One man gets praised for what another gets blamed for.
Memory is the tormentor of jealousy.
