A review by steakuccino
The House of the Seven Gables by Nathaniel Hawthorne

2.0

This could easily have been 25% as long without losing an ounce of the story. Hawthorne, why are your works considered classics? It’s not because you’re good at telling these stories. I can only imagine it is because you were lucky to come up with a few stories good enough to survive despite your inept treatment of them.
