A review by nostalgia_reader
Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton

2.0

Well, I can't say that this was a depressing read like so many other people have said... it was just very boring. The characters were relatively boring and I didn't much care for them and the narrative was a bit jumpy and confusing. The imagery was quite beautiful and vivid, but that was the only redeeming quality that I found about this book. There really just wasn't a point to the whole thing... well, there was, Frome was in love with his wife's cousin, and the majority of the story went on an on about the angsty-ish love they shared and had to keep from Frome's wife. But... the ending was very, VERY anticlimactic and didn't resolve anything. Not that there was anything *to* resolve in the first place...

Definitely glad I didn't have to read this for school, because I'm sure the over analysis of it would make it even more pointless and much less tolerable to read.
