Might be alone, but the book was awfully boring. The plot was bold and the prose was interesting, but Hawthorne just loves shoving symbolism in the face of the reader, treating you like a complete fucking retard. It's probably why it's so commonly taught in the high-school level.

If you're interested in Puritanism and that period of American life, then it's okay. But if you're not, it's honestly just a slog and there's better "classic books" out there to take your time.

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 17 10:32:24 2019 No.12949070 >>12949056 No problem. If you really wanna read Hawthorne though, check out Twice-Told Tales. It's a collection of short stories, and is much more entertaining to read imo. He's not nearly as "in-your-face" as well. Shockingly underrated as well.

This is the worst way any series can end. It includes
>bad guys eating each others boogers and scabs
>killing off main villain by introducing a brand new villain that eats the old one
>new villain is also a baby werespider that constantly shits itself
>ends up shitting itself to death
>main villain (spider baby's dad) that has been built up for 3 books is an evil Santa claus that throws snitches from Harry Potter at the hero
>constant Harry Potter references because King likes harry potter
>introduce new dude out of no where that can erase the villain with a magic pencil
>literally says "here comes the deus ex machina " like a cheeky cunt
>contains a page before the end of the book basically stating that he doesn't know how to end it, but it doesn't matter because it's about the journey not the ending, and if you don't like it then fuck you
>end with a time loop setting everything back to the beginning

I fucking hate Stephen king I wish that van killed him so that maybe a competent author could have finished the series

The start of the novel was actually really good, but after the war part it went downhill pretty fast, and during/after the Africa part it actually turned into something so not interesting and long-winded, with the narrator keeping on whining about how shit his life is while also wanting to bone every woman he's met, that it took me a lot of effort to finish the book.
