The Scarlet Letter

I just finished reading the Scarlet Letter. This book I was supposed to read in high school and I only read the Cliff Notes to pass the quizzes and tests. I did not remember anything about the book except that the woman in it wore an A on her chest for adultery. While reading this book I realized how much more there was to the story than what I remembered. This was a very enjoyable story with really interesting, deep characters. The main character Hester Prynne was such a strong woman. I love stories like this where the woman are stronger than the men! This story was very easy to read and was quick. I would recommend it to any of my friends but probably only after they were out of high school. I really feel as though a lot of the themes in this story just are not relate able to a 16 year old.

Score: 8
