Ethan Frome

How to review a vetted masterpiece that you didn't enjoy.....hmm. Be honest?
I thought this was mind-numbingly boring. I would have DNF'd it but it was less than 4 hours long (on audio) so I plugged through. I couldn't stand Ethan. I am sorry he picked a winner for a wife, I am sorry he fell in love with his wife's cousin. I am sorry for him, but I didn't like him. They then have the lamest dinner date in history and, ultimately, a suicide pact. All of this is told with flowery language that takes a short story and stretches it into a hundred page novel.
Still, I'm glad I can cross it off the list.
