The problem is often that: there are books that, because they are too descriptive, end up causing the reader (if they are not properly prepared) a certain mental fatigue. But that does not mean they cease to be monumental works of literature.
Therefore I do not advise you to read Notre Dame de Paris, much less watch the musical show that toured Europe by the hand of the director Riccardo Cocciante: a true masterpiece with capital letters.
I guess Notre Dame de Paris sounds more interesting, haha!
