 Here...

 It sounds like it has the potential to be really good.
(Needless to say, I always reserve judgement until I've actually seen the thing.)

The musical is awesome, but I'd really like to see something more directly based on the book; it probably wouldn't fit in a single movie tough, it'd have to be a TV series like The Game of Thrones.
Music from the musical could be used as BGMs and cues in such a show.

  Les Miserables is an 1862 French novel by Victor Hugo set amongst the backdrop of Paris and surrounding areas before and at the beginning of the French Revolution.
The main plot follows a former convict named Jean Valjean who gets caught stealing shortly after being released from prison and ends up escaping only to be found years later (when he's now a respected businessman and the mayor of a town) by the obsessive policeman who's been hunting him the whole time, as well as the daughter he adopted after vowing to a dying prostitute that he would look after her child.

 It's been turned into both a regular stage play and an immensely popular musical - the original Broadway production was the third-longest run in B-way history.

 As well as turned into a film [/i]multiple times in several languages[/i] - most recently in 1998, starring Liam Neeson, Geofrey Rush, Uma Thurman and Claire Danes - and at least one tv miniseries in 2000 starring Gerard Depardieu, John Malkovich, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Virginie Ledoyen...

Oh, yeah, and for those younguns, a recent London production also starred Daniel Radcliffe as Marius for part of it's run...

I've actually never read it.  I was always in AP English in school and we just never had it assigned for some reason.  The lower classes did, though.  I also have no desire to read it.  Thing is, I'll run out of authors to check out eventually so I will probably read it before I die.  Maybe.

Thing is, I'll run out of authors brains to check out eventually so I will probably read it have eaten the brain of someone who read it before I die.  MaybeHowever, seeing the way the American educational system is going, I'll be lucky to eat the brain of someone who can read at a second grade level.

I would argue against your assertions had I the requisite education to do so in such a fashion that wouldn't undoubtably prove futile and humiliating.

Yes, please do not embarrass yourself by demonstrating what would most likely be a hodgepodge conflaguration of volumnious words designated "large" by those understanding the english lexicon, when, in reality, they are simply a device used to confound the reader/listener of the learned orator from the point that that orator is trying to make. And before you counterfute my claims --
