It took WAY too long to get to the main conflict and to the ending. It was trying to symbolize how innocents felt in Salem, but it instead provided unnecessary journeys and the only fear that was felt was not about the accusations, but how hard the journey was. It tried to symbolize the fear of the unknown but I have a feeling it did not accomplish that. I did like some parts, but I just feel like the book may not have been long enough to discuss what it wanted to discuss.
