Your list of favorite characters is my list of favorite characters. :-) Oh, and I love Gavroche, too. The bit where he meets his younger brothers and doesn't realize who they are but takes care of them anyway just makes my heart melt.
And I nearly threw the book across the room by the end of the Waterloo section, except that Hugo put that guy shouting, "Merde!" at the end, and that, like, two paragraphs was awesome enough that I managed to contain myself. But I still complain about those 30 pages everytime someone starts talking about the "brilliance" of the novel.
