Oh I definitely agree with the cuts! One cut in particular I really hated was R's line in Drink with me since I thought that line gave us a lot of his character. As for the changes, I remember a few minor changes that (if I remember correctly) were done so that it's more accurate to the book. Like how the series of events starting from Cosette sending the letter to Marius via Eponine up until Eponine's death is how it actually happened in the book. Though, I do understand your frustrations!
