14 reviews for Scarlet Letter

  1. Jatin Rajpal

    Hawthorne’s prose is stunning, but I found Hester’s situation relentlessly bleak. A powerful, thought-provoking read.

  2. Aryaman Sharma

    This book is definitely a product of its time. Some parts dragged, but the ending was impactful.

  3. Anurupa Das Sarma

    A classic for a reason. The writing is beautiful but the story is quite depressing.

  4. Nitishree Bhansali

    This book has a powerful message about shame and forgiveness, but can be a difficult read due to its subject matter.

  5. Gautamdev Chakravarty

    A true classic of American literature. The language is a bit challenging, but worth the effort.

  6. Pratibha Verma

    I struggled to connect with the characters, but the symbolism was fascinating. An interesting, albeit flawed, novel.

  7. Yash Tyagi

    The prose is beautiful but the story is slow and somewhat melodramatic. The characters are well-developed, but not necessarily likable.

  8. Saurabh

    I appreciated the historical context and the exploration of societal hypocrisy. Not always an easy read, but rewarding.

  9. Cyra Sumit

    Excellent edition with helpful notes. A bit slow-paced for my taste, but the themes are still relevant today.

  10. Nitish Kumar

    This book offers an amazing depiction of Puritan society with all its intolerance. Read it for a class and enjoyed it more than I expected.

  11. Aman Singh Deo

    Enjoyed this book club selection. The discussion was lively. The themes are timeless. Recommend this penguin classic edition.

  12. Paras Goyal

    An exceptional novel that explores the complexity of the human condition. The exploration of sin is thought provoking and well written.

  13. Aayushi Dalmia

    The Scarlet Letter is a masterpiece of dark romanticism. I love the symbolism and how it represent sin and redemption.

  14. Abhinav Singh

    Perrotta’s foreword added great insight. The story is heavy, dealing with complex moral issues.
