I read it in high school (by choice because of the musical), but I think I was not mature enough to truly grasp many of the themes.

This makes me want to re-read it. I can read French at an okay level, and I’m wondering if I should try…or if I should stick with English again first to get the major points and then branch out.

English translation is pretty damn good. If you want to work on your French by all means go for it, but wouldn't do it out of concern you'd be missing something from the English version.
