Okay well let me start by saying that reading this book is a complete and utter waste of time and that any person even remotely considering to read this worthless garbage will inevitably be disappointed by the sheer nothingness this work has to offer. Now about the story: it's terribly bland. I recall finally finishing this rubbish and realizing that I learned absolutely nothing from the work as a whole and that even a fifth-grader could synthesize a more satisfying ending. There are numerous summaries online so I won't bore you with the details but the story is very basic, similar to a plot conceived by a student the night before their assignment is due. Not only that, but the words are excessively complicated, as if Hawthorne searched up synonyms for what feels like every other word and the sentence structures are comparable to the BS I would fit into my essays to take up as many lines as possible. Also I can't list the amount of times I fell asleep reading the filth Hawthorne crapped out hundreds of years ago.
Right so in summary I would like to go on record to say that I probably would have been better off praying the night before I took the exam for this disgusting "book" than actually devoting time to read it. I hated every page, every word. Even the dictionary was easier to read. I take physics right now and even that algebraic garbage is more appealing than this unholy creation. If you liked this book, you might also like spell-checking the dictionary or licking the toe fungus off of Hawthorne. The Scarlet Letter doesn't belong in the trash, it deserves to rot in a pile of cow manure. If I could say anything to Hawthorne, I would tell him to lick a toilet bowl.
