Pros: Brilliant characterizations, suspenseful.
Cons: Very quick read.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: Well, for something different, I took the advice of my step-mother and took a break from watching summer blockbusters and reading lighter fare (i.e. Pure Drivel by Steve Martin) and I read a classic story by a timeless author.

Pros: Interesting Story, Realistic Characters
Cons: Some Plot Flaws, A bit Melodramatic at Times
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: Ethan Frome (1911) is widely considered to be Edith Warton?s masterpiece, regardless of the fact that it was a later novel, The Age of Innocence (1920), which earned her the first Pulitzer Prize ever awarded to a woman. I am in no position to judge...

Pros: Interesting format, compact and well-written.
Cons: Fails to hit the reader as hard as Ethan and Mattie hit the tree.
The Bottom Line: Read it because it's a so-called classic and because it doesn't take a huge commitment, just don't expect too much.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: Edith Wharton s Ethan Frome is a delight for slow readers who like the feeling of having read classic literature . I consider myself one such reader and so the fact that this book is basically a novelette (157 pages) gives it a certain charm.

Pros: great story, interesting character, setting and mood
Cons: drags in scenery descriptions, loses you sometimes
The Bottom Line: Ethan Frome is a sad, simple story that introduces a lonely character whose life is interesting to read about.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: What a nice, simple little story. I would not be quick to say that it is a romantic novel. It's a love story, yes, but it's one that causes you to observe and read the literal world that surround it. In other words, it is filled with symbolism,...

Pros: quick read; easy to read; Shirley Jackson-esqe ending
Cons: overwhelming bleakness makes the entire book depressing, but this isn't really a con
The Bottom Line: Ethan Frome is not Edith Wharton's best work, but is definately a worthwhile read. But not bedtime reading unless you like going to sleep depressed!
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: (For some reason I had always thought Ethan Frome was a town's name instead of a man's name.) The novel is about a man named Ethan who is married to Zeena. He mistakenly married her years ago, and she has feigned too sick to work ever since.

Pros: symbolism
Cons: none

Review: In Edith Wharton?s work, Ethane Frome, she uses several different literary elements to add to the story. Her use of foreshadowing and symbolism are seen throughout the work. Also, Wharton uses a prologue to set up the story and an epilogue to...

Pros: Very Intense Story, Tinged With Emotion, Well Developed Characters
Cons: Very Depressing, Deals With Serious Issues
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: This novel by Edith Wharton is a tragic one. I find it surprising that this book is listed under children's fiction because of some of the serious themes it deals with, including a love triangle and a suicide attempt.

Review: Sorry about that. I had to read this book several months ago for school... Thus I'm probably jaded somehow against it... The first thing is well the title inspires several bad jokes... Imagine hours of English class fun joking about Edith From by...

Review: Edith Wharton's Ethan Frome, published in the late 19th century, is a tale of love, frustration, being tied by the rules, and irony.
For the most part, Ethan Frome is a fairly slow read, like much of the literature from the pre-Realist... |
