The Hunchback of Notre Dame was a story That I Thought Would Be a little bit childish and adolescent Because They made a Disney movie out of it. But It was not. If your read the story, you realize That Disney obviously made the movie have more of a happy ending, a sad ending Because is not characteristic of a child's film. So, the Disney movie focused more on the moral of "Do not judge a person by the way they look," Where the book obviously did not. The book just does not transfer well to screen. As far as the actual book goes, it was a very powerful story. Even though it's not really a mystery, you just want to read more to find out what happens. You begin to feel inside the story, almost in another reality. Anytime somebody talked to me or disturbed me during my reading, I would come out of the fictional dimension feeling almost hypnotic Because of being into the story so much. This story is very deep, and morethan Certainly the Disney film portrays. I guess the main thought That I'm trying to send here Is that the book is so much different and Focuses on so many different subjects did in order to UNDERSTAND The Hunchback of Notre Dame you must read the book.
