Its a very good in my opinion, and it just points out more how idiotic the Puritans were =P Who else likes it?

Wasn't this written by Nathaniel Hawthorne to make himself feel better about his relative prosecuting people in the first place?

er they werent idiotic then...and they kinda arent now. it was just what they believed till some radical people thought differntly! l ol back then they may think we're idiots, counting on electronics and all. ANYWAY i thought the book was....somewhat boring. i mean yeah some good parts but most of it, 85% was boring. I also enjoyed the twists but some were preditable....but i would still read it again when im 65 or something in my library.

Yes.

His grandfather was the judge in the Salem Witch Trials.

I can see why he'd like to distance himself.

We read this book for English, I wrote a paper about the nature of the character's names.

Quite an interesting topic.
