I listened to this, translation by Catherine Liu, narrated by George Guidall. It was amazing! I honestly don't think I could have shouldered through the book - all of those place names and so forth in French throw me, and make it hard for me to remember what's going on. However, this narrator is beyond excellent, and the translation is so clear. (I wish I could have linked to the proper translation, but goodreads can't seem to find it.)This is a huge, sweeping story, considering different ways to love. The only one who gets it right is Quasimodo. Above it all sits Notre Dame, and a fair amount of the book is devoted to her. It's an excellent story, consider listening to the Recorded Books, Incorporated version, it's excellently done.
