"This is a GORGEOUS novel. ARGH! I have to eat every comment I ever made about Hawthorne. He is a genius. I sort of hate myself for missing everything important about this novel the first time -- the beautiful love story, the strong protofeminist single mother Hester Prynne, and the tightly constructed web of symbolism. I am officially abashed, but happily so!"
"Hawthorne's writing is just amazing. I love his description and the way he puts the complexity of the human mind into words and images. I'd forgotten his feminist stance in the novel so that was intriguing to rediscover."
"Pleasantly surprising! Originally, I picked up this book (school assignment, of course) thinking it would just be some psychological analysis of punishment and Puritan society, but it turned out to be a love story with interesting characters. It was very sad, though...there was no possibility of a happy future for Hester and Dimmesdale."
