You know how a movie will come out, and everyone will love it, so they release four different versions with never-before-seen footage?
I'm getting the feeling that the Unabridged Version is like that long version of a movie that was better off as a short version.
It's still great, but...I'm just sayin'.

I must respectfully disagree.
For me it gets to the point that I enjoy almost all of it, including the digressions, except for maybe a few sections.
I wouldn't only shave off those sections I don't like, because why read an *almost* unabridged version?
Just my opinion.
though kevin is certifiably insane most of the time, i have to agree with him on this.
I think to fully understand the intent, as well as fully appreciate the art, you have to soak up the whole thing.
yes, its really long, but i don't find myself uninterested in anything Hugo writes, and all of his digressions have a purpose.
