So Far in The Scarlet Letter...

The Scarlet Letter is proving to be a much more difficult read than I was lead to believe - it's a good thing I got the Dover Thrift Study Edition!!! It's really helpful! I'm still loving how the book was written, how the words flow smoothly together and sound almost like poetry. The storyline is coming together quite well, though I wouldn't have perceived the acute details of the plot had I not looked in the chapter summary. Truthfully, I'm partially worried about how long it's going to take me to read this book. The actual report on it should be fairly easy to create, though.

My Thoughts on The Scarlet Letter

I must admit, I was the tiniest bit worried that The Scarlet Letter would have been written in a difficult-to-read voice, but I was mostly mistaken. The voice is, I admit, a bit difficult to understand, but flows smoothly and elegantly. It sounds both personal and intimate at the same time as sounding formal and with poise. It is so far very well written and, except for the ridiculously long introductory "chapter," I am quite enjoying the story. Of course, that is greatly due to the fact that it is a Dover Thrift Study Edition, which greatly increases understanding.
