Would I read it again? No

I love Easy A so thought I'd give the book a go. I did like some parts of it, but I wouldn't really care to read it again. Really enjoy some of the themes though. I also just really felt for Hester the whole time.

A compelling story that is almost completely obfuscated by Hawthorne's impenetrable prose. I'm glad I read it, but I didn't enjoy the act of reading it.
