Read in March, 1998
recommends it for:
People intrested in feminist lit.
This book would have gotten my highest rating except for the long and truly superfluous Custom House Preface. If you are picking up this book for the first time do your self a favor and skip that part. Instead savor the beautiful imagery and painful love story. Kudos for Hawthorn one of America's earliest feminist writers!

I remember having to read this in high school... groan... but who knew it would turn out ot be such a fantastic read! There is no doubt why this one is a classic. It has everything - crime, sex, conspiracy, secrets, religion, public scorn, courage and cowardice, forbidden love, triumph over the odds, all of it.

I read this book back in high school (I should say I read all the cliff notes to this book) and was not interested in it at all. I thought I would give it a try and it was much better the second time around. There are so many different issues throughout the book that I loved hashing over. It was fun!

This was another one of those "school reads" that I ended up actually enjoying. It helped that Gary Oldman and that actress with the creepy-blue eyes played the main characters in the movie. :)

I loved this book with all of my heart! It is high adventure and high romance. I was swept away... (so much better than the movie which doesn't follow the story line of the novel, fyi)

I read this in high school cause I had to for English. Now, I remember liking it, however, I reall didn't like to read then at all, so my rating is probably skewed.

This book is very hard to understand but if you can look past that it is actually an interesting story. It all depends on if you think it's worth it.

Pretty fucking terrible. Willa Cather, what were you thinking saying this was one of the three greatest American novels?

I remember being pleasantly surprised that I liked this book when 'forced' to read it in high school.

I had a terrible nightmare about growing a bumpy "A" on my chest when I began this book.
