Stop whining

It is true that this book is very difficult to follow, but only if you don't take the time to read it carefully. The book was written in a different time period, this makes the vocabularly used and settings seem foreign to some. The people that are saying that the book is boring and confusing are not taking the time to read into the characters, the plot, or are just simply not understanding what the Hawthorne is saying. I'm a sophmore in high school and even I can understand it, though sometimes I have to read a paragraph or two over again.
