snukes 's review for:
The House of the Seven Gables
by Nathaniel Hawthorne
The language was beautiful and the characters intriguing, but there were about 100 pages in the middle that actually didn't need to be there. I'm glad I read it. I ultimately really enjoyed the plot, but... good heavens. A few fewer passages about Hepzibah's scowl or Clifford sitting in the garden would really have been a-okay.
