A beautifully written classic
A Room With a View is a classic i have meant to read for a while, and the experience was deeply rewarding. It isn't for everyone -- you either find Forster's dramas of manners bizarre and silly or fascinating. I am in the latter camp.

I enjoyed the second half of the book much more than the first for some reason. I wasn't really invested in the romance, but the characters were very entertaining. Maybe I need to read the first half again!

I don’t know what to make of this book. I think I’ve expected too much from it and now find myself disappointed at the finish line.
The book is nice, don’t get me wrong. But nothing really happens in it. People fall in love, they deny they are in love and then they end up together anyway. It’s been done before.
I did like Forster’s use of language and I think he has a nice way of twisting the language to suit the tone of the scene but the scenes were, for me, too predictable.

A Room with a View is a story about young miss Honeychurch and her experiences of love, travel and finding her position in a world mostly controlled by men.
Lucy is a quarky character and it was pure enjoyment to read her view on the world. But what I liked most about Lucy Honeychurch was her way of life and her wish for independence.
I became very fond of E.M. Forster's way of writing. The incredible description of Italy, its colours and mood really came alive during my reading of the book. The setting makes the events even more fun and lovely.
I don't have much to say about this book. Basically, It was really lovely - the setting, the characters and so on.
I won't be protected. I will choose for myself what is ladylike and right. To shield me is an insult.

I was enjoying this, but I just could make my way through it fast enough to finish it this summer. I will definitely finish it at some point!
