The Scarlet Letter

Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter is the tale of Hester Prynne. She is a woman who is convicted of adultery when she mysteriously has a baby, but no husband has been seen in over two years. This book is read all over the United States because it shows the cruelty of when people judge one another. Hester's punishment for committing adultery is to wear a scarlet letter A on her chest until the day she dies. All in all it is a very nice book with very creative characters. However it has a very long story that, though interesting, becomes very droll fast. I give it a solid 8 out of 10. If you're a person who loves the old style of writing and a great mysterious story plot then this is for you.
