Is certainly not a stretch to think such a thing. .. besides, the link below seems to be more the reason. .. fan the hunchback does not mean fan of Hugo....nor does it make you a fan of Les Miserables.

It is a typical behaviour of a typical American high school student.

My apologies, just me. I spent some years as a medical photographer and I make my living now as a medical illustrator creating images that will sometimes put people off.

I'm glad that you are not.
