Les Miserables translated by Isabel Hapgood

How is this particular translation regarded?

The only reason I have this particular one is because it is available for free on Gutenburg.com, and I can load it into my ebook device which has remarkably enhanced the reading experience. No, I am not starting a thread on ebook devices, so don't worry :).

We all know that all translations are not equal. I wish sites like amazon.com would review translations.

I agree! Does anyone know of a website that does compare translations of literature?

I came to this site to find out how the newest translation of Les Miserables compares to previous translations; I'm considering asking my family to get me this novel for a Christmas gift.
