Summary: A Required High School Book That's Actually Good!
Comment: I was required to read this book in my sophomore AP English class, and I was reluctant at first but then began to fall in love with this book. The book, although seen as depressing, is uplifting in its truth to life. Life is not perfect, so why should stories be anything different from life?
The Greeks created two genres - the tragedy and the comedy - and although tragedies will make us cry and leave us with a saddened heart, they bring us a sense of accomplishment. Afterall, our lives are not as bad as our friends who are living the story of a tragedy. Wharton's book is a quick and easy read that tells so much about actual life and forbidden love and the tragedies that ensue.
Rating: 2
Summary: Depressing and boring
Comment: This book sucks. If this was the first book by Wharton that someone has read, they probably won't read any of her others, which is totalluy wrong, because she is a great author. This particular book however, is far to depressing and boring to be on the top of anyone's list. It is so boring that sometimes you can be reading the boo, yet not taking any in, and when you "wake up" you find yourself lost, not knowing where you are in relation to where you left off. It is my beleif that this book probably loses most of its readers after the first few chapters.
Rating: 3
Summary: Extremely depressing
Comment: The book is so depressing it makes me retch. Though I must admit it has an interesting theme, as well as a good moral, and Wharton's foreshadowing skills are superb. But this book is still extremely depressing. It is also rather boring at times, and one can find oneself reading the book, yet finding yourself lost, because it became so boring that, even though you were reading it, you weren't taking it in, and when you stared to get back into the book, you found yourself lost, not knowing how far away you were from where you left off. Overall this book loses most of its readers after the first few chapters, and therefore shouldn't be on the top of anyone's list.
