The Power of Sympathy and the Coquette by Hannah Webster Foster, Carla Mulford, William Hill Brown

I read this for The Power of Sympathy*
The narrative is dry and slow if not completely halted at times. The themes and ideas are presented bluntly. The story itself is occasionally bad instead of slow but in a sort of "so bad its good" sort of way. Not impossibly boring, it's pretty short, but I wouldn't wish this on anyone. Leave it to the American literature nerds to suffer through.

Read for ENGL 3005W (only The Power of Sympathy)
Loved the drama but it was kind of a drag

THE COQUETTE:
I liked this book, and at the same time it is, I believe, one of the most depressing stories I have ever read. I liked it in that the story was told through letters between the characters, relating the events to one another. While I enjoyed the format the story took, the story itself was depressing.

5 stars for The Coquette, which was excellent, and 3 stars for The Power of Sympathy which was too much of a Werther rip to hold my attention very long.
