What Members Thought
Sometimes I struggle with classics. This was one of those times. I can appreciate the plot and I think that Hawthorne has created some very good (and complex) characters, but I just got tied up in the period narration. This may be one that I need to reread in the future, but for now it was just kind of an okay read for me. Not bad, just not something I got super psyched up about.
**3 1/2 stars**
This could have been a 4-star rating, but I felt the author/narrator repeated himself way more than necessary...to the point, at times, I thought I was re-reading the same paragraph. Other than that, I really did enjoy this classic and wish my English class would have read it in high school. It brings a lot of points home, which are still relevant today.
