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.
