The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne

3.0

School books are not often easy to really get into and enjoy the way a good book ought to be enjoyed. This was no exception. However, I'm not sure that I would have enjoyed this book so much even if I wasn't required to read it. It was highly difficult to understand, with the dated language and paragraph-long sentences. It was also a very slow read. Nothing of excitement really happened and the plot didn't very much thicken. Many of the answers were assumed from the beginning and not much reveal later on was of any great shock to the readers. I just couldn't find myself really enjoying and getting into the book like I had hoped to do, and also like I prefer to do with any books that I read.
