stephaniejean 's review for:

The House of the Seven Gables by Nathaniel Hawthorne
4.0

Less than 300 pages, I thought I would zip right through, but No. A REALLY slow burn, lots and lots of words. You have to be in the right mood for this one! Perfect if you love a dark mystery with lots of detail and side stories. The last chapter made me glad I stuck it out, all loose ends tied up.
