I read this book 50 years ago but it is still one of my favorites. It shows the hyprocrisy that is still with us today just as it has been throughout history.

Required reading from High School. Must have made an impact, I still make references from the book.

I can't say that every element of this book was bad. In fact, quite a bit of it was actually very good. The story is a classic, chronicling the intertwining lives of the characters and how a single sin affected each of them. The symbolism is wonderful. Unfortunately, I couldn't get past the writing style. The old-fashioned style of writing coupled with unnecessary amounts of description made reading a tedious task throughout the entire novel. I can appreciate the book now that I've read it, but getting through it was terrible. I love the story, hate the book.

Aarrgghh - this was a compulsory novel for high school English. Now normally I like most books - but this was a shocker. It is almost impossible to empathise with any of the characters and the writing is stuffy.

Great classic book. Harder read as due to when it was written. Interesting that this still happens today as it did back then. Somethings in life never change I suppose, to cast someone out due to something that they did.
