Ethan Frome

OK, I don't like reading very much, but when I find a good book I usually can't put it down. Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton was not a good book to me. I was able to put it down, and I was able to fall asleep mid-sentence. The book has great literary merit, I know. Wharton was able to incorporate a lot of meaning and symbolism into this short novel. But thank God it was short or else I might not have finished it. Some people argue that this book has a depressing ending, I disagree, I hated the characters and feel they each got what they deserved.
