To the ones who don't like the book, this is a really good book on morals, and sin, real love, etc. I'm a junior in a high school in Georgia. I half agree with you ont he part that it's a hard book to understand. I'm a smart student, I make straight A's, but English was never and is not my strong subject. Literature and English just have not came to me easily. But, back to the book. I read it on my own. My teacher explained it to me, and even I understood it very well. And the ones that said if you don't take the time to try to understand, then your obviously not going to understand it. I don't liek school either, but it's one of those things that you will have to do to make anything out of yourself, other than a useless waste of air. I personally enjoyed the book. I've read better, but I have also read much worse.

Of course anyone who didn't like the book didn't get the point of it in the first place. The book was not to educate you; the book was Hawthorne's view on Puritan society. <br><br>It was school that tried to extract the ideas of the book and make it educational. They are trying to teach you the key points of the book (the plot is just filler). If you missed the point- the book becomes useless.<br><br>I may be actually a hyprocryte saying this because I couldn't STAND reading the book (I have no attention span) and ended up using spark notes--and initially, intensely disliked this book. But alas, I did get the point. I understand the reason why such an author wrote such a book. Then I reread the book and now I appreciate this book.<br><br>I win!
