The House of the Seven Gables was slow enough, but this is totally unbearable.
Page after page of nothing happening at all.
That would be all right, I suppose, if his characters weren't so utterly inhuman, such complete cardboard fabrications.
And the complete sexlessness of his women, his characters, his universe seems extreme even for his era.
Gave up on it about halfway through.
