This book does more than collect three of John Gray’s musical plays in one volume. In his preface to each play, and in his charming and wide-ranging introduction, Gray takes this opportunity to offer his readers some startling insights into the process by which his plays have come about; into his ongoing concern that his audiences not experience his musicals as �art,†but as a way of recognizing something about their lives and the lives of those with whom they share their community, and into his own evolution as a playwright—how a boy from Truro, Nova Scotia, who got his start by failing music and playing in local bands named after fast American cars, stepped into the stage lights of Toronto, New York and London by daring to do something that everybody said wouldn’t work.

Local Boy Makes Good
Gabi... is... obsessed... with... Javert... Aaaaak!
I just played Cosette in the musical, and I decided to read the non abridged book. Everyone told me not to, but I didn't listen and boy, am I glad!
I am in 7th grade and Les Miserables is the best book I have ever read. Jean Valjean is such a deep person to learn from and so are all of Victor Hugo's other characters. This book truly shows people the power of all kinds of love, and that what's "right" is not always "right" and "wrong" is not always "wrong" if that makes any sense. Besides, the writing is beautiful and so fluent, that even if you don't understand the meaning, it would be an epic read. With just enough action, diougle, and whatever else you may be intrigued by, this book will be one of the most memorable ones you will ever read. I'd write more, but you simply cannot totally sum up Les Miserables in a single small review. Victor Hugo's book will cernainly stay a well respected clasic for at least another few centuries. There is no book like this.
