Review # 1 was written on 2007-12-31 00:00:00 Hakon Nottveit Seductively written, Herbert's rendering of the Hawthorne family's psychological life is not without startling insight and beautiful nuances. Yet Herbert's sensational interpretation is heavily laden with Freudian psychoanalysis. The obsession with sexuality that permeates Herbert's version of the Hawthorne family is grossly unbalanced and grotesquely Gothic, distorting the truth of the narrative into a lamentably contorted monstrosity. In fact the narrative becomes rather tiresome in the author's pedantic and exaggerated attention to sexual nuances. Nor does it present a fair, balanced, or accurate representation of the Hawthorne's familial relationships.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-05-25 00:00:00 Jonathan Zalevsky This book was written by one of my college professors. In fact, he was working on it while I was in college. Those who like Hawthorne will want to read this book.
