These reviews aren't on the Cliff Notes version
Ethan Frome is an excellent novel, yet I felt the need to add a review for this Cliff Notes version. The two one-star reviews are from people who didn't like the story and had nothing to say about the Cliff Notes book. That is not a review of the Cliff Notes--that's a review on the novel.
I do not own this Cliff Notes version, but I urge anyone who is...

Ethan Frome: Great Idea, Poor Execution
When Edith Wharton wrote "Ethan Frome" she was living in Europe. In my opinion, she was a little home-sick and wished to set a story, any story, near where she lived, so she created Starkfeild, the town, under several feet of snow, where Ethan, his Wife (Zeena), and his supposed "true love" (Mattie) live together.

This review is from: Ethan Frome (Cliffs Notes) (Paperback)
Ethan Frome is an excellent novel, yet I felt the need to add a review for this Cliff Notes version. The two one-star reviews are from people who didn't like the story and had nothing to say about the Cliff Notes book. That is not a review of the Cliff Notes--that's a review on the novel.
I do not own this Cliff Notes version, but I urge anyone who is interested in it to look elsewhere for reviews. I added a five-star review to balance out the 2.5 stars it had before this review.

Ethan Frome: Great Idea, Poor Execution, December 4, 2002
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Ethan Frome (Cliffs Notes) (Paperback)
When Edith Wharton wrote "Ethan Frome" she was living in Europe. In my opinion, she was a little home-sick and wished to set a story, any story, near where she lived, so she created Starkfeild, the town, under several feet of snow, where Ethan, his Wife (Zeena), and his supposed "true love" (Mattie) live together. After reading the book, I got the impression that Ethan didn't truely love either Zeena or Mattie, and so the "daring escape" from his life that he tries to make doesn't seem realistic. Although Wharton idea for this story was grade "A", she made Ethan seem to be lusting after Mattie, as opposed to truely loving her. This book could have been much better and about eighty pages shorter.
