Classic

I agree with just about everything that has been said about this book. It is a classic and I love it. I'm going into 10th grade and I read it to get ahead in school. I found that once I started I could not set this book down.


Great Book!!

This is required reading for my 16 yr old son...book arrived quickly & in great shape! Very Pleased!


Dark, meaningful, and dare I say sexy?

I think this is one of my favorites from high school English or whenever I read the thing, and I agree that it is a classic full of excellent imagery, strong characters, and of course all that symbolism we all love to hate.

But outside the annoying intellectual stuff, this is just a great story that fills that spot craving good drama. Call it a soap-opera problem--only this keeps the craziness in check and lets the characters, all of them, guide their own stories.

The stories revolves around a few central people in a small Puritan town. And you know those Puritans. Hester is the town outcast, socially punished for having an affair whilst she was married. Along side her are her daughter, her husband, and the man she really loved all along.

These people are real, as much as you like or despise them. The story is real, and even though we haven't all been accused by a town of Puritans for adultry we can all testify to that same judgement and goodness that remains in this world.
