siria 's review for:

The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne
2.0
slow-paced
Loveable characters: No

Condolences to all my American friends who had to read this in high school—what a stultifying slog for so little reward. Having to read An Triail for the Leaving Cert seems, in comparative retrospect, a thoroughly joyous experience—and that's got infanticide in it.
