David G: Loved the fact that a modestly able pianist can hammer out a decent tune. Well presented and very enjoyable favourite pieces with vocal arrangement too!

Brad: Great music, hard enough to sound good, but easy enough that I can sit down and play them without too much practice. Love sitting down to play and sing!

David Miller: Bought this for my daughter as I do not play the piano. She says it has what she needs so I would take her word for it. She learned to play as a child but hasn't touched the piano in years so we were looking for something that accommodated her skill level as she eased her way back in. It apparently filled the bill because she is pretty happy with it (she is a big fan of Les Miserables).

intrigued: If you love the music from Les Miserables and play piano at an intermediate level (grade 5-6 Royal Conservatory of Music level?), this book is for you! It has all my favourite songs, not difficult to play and always fun to sing-along. It sounds exactly like the songs from Broadway music. I'm very happy with the purchase.

CatholicSzn: I simply wanted to add this to my repertoire. I like to pick up and play these pieces now and then. I'm not sure if all the songs have been lowered, but Bring Him Home is in C+ and easier to sing.

Summer21: As a fan of Les Mis and an experienced piano player, I can say that this is a great buy. The arrangements are good for intermediate/advanced players; some are easier, while others harder. Most of the songs are beautiful arrangements that stay true to the scores, and the book has all of the famous favourite songs. For players at the advanced level, some of these songs might be too easy, but there are some more challenging ones as well. The book itself isn't super fancy, but fairly good quality; it's got a nice glossy cover and some lovely photos of the musical. Definitely worth the money!

Benjamin Mohr: I love the book, and the song choices are excellent. The only faults I have with it are two main things; 1. The piano part plays the melody almost the whole time with the voice meaning that unless you want to have annoying unison one must 'edit' out the double melody. 2. "A Little Fall of Rain" consists only of Eponine's part, there is no duet between her and Marius, which is a shame considering how heartbreakingly beautiful it is.
Other than that, the book is great for any Les Miserables lover.
