melapropisms 's review for:
The House of the Seven Gables
by Nathaniel Hawthorne
Too long and wordy. The ending felt like a deus ex machina way of tying all the loose threads together, and I don’t understand why Hawthorne couldn’t have used the fifteen or so pages describing Hepzibah getting dressed to, you know, write a complete plot. However, some of the writing was clever, if overdramatic. Very clear imagery (because of all that unnecessary description!).
