Zeena: She Ain't No Warrior Princess!

Date of Review:  Jul 5, 2000
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.

As a person...

"We Never Got Away - How Should You, Ethan Frome?"

Date of Review:  Jan 1, 2001
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...

It's Never a Good Idea to Run Into a Tree

Date of Review:  Mar 19, 2004
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.
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.

Ethan Frome

Date of Review:  Jan 17, 2004
The Bottom Line: Ethan Frome is a sad, simple story that introduces a lonely character whose life is interesting to read about.
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,...

Ethan Frome - Edith Wharton's Version of Love (Warning: Very Bleak)

Date of Review:  Feb 8, 2003
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!
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.

Date of Review:  Dec 12, 2000
Review: **Warning: Plot spoilers**

Overview:

Once in a while, it's good to tap into a genre without making the full-scale investment of a serious, classic novel or reaching for a dictionary. Ethan Frome, Edith Wharton's novella of love and...

Ethan Frome: Blanketed in snow and symbolism

Date of Review:  Dec 27, 2000
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...

Ethan Frome

Date of Review:  Nov 24, 1999
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.

Ethan Frome, the main...

Wharton Frome Goes on a Journey With Edith and Ethan.

Date of Review:  Jun 28, 2000
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...

Ethan Frome

Date of Review:  Sep 18, 2000
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...
