nina86 's review for:
A Room with a View
by E.M. Forster
I'm not very good at writing book reviews but I'll try my best with this one. When I first started reading this book I thought it was dry and boring. But the more I read it got better and turned out to be a real gem. What I loved about this novel was Forster's amazing narration, his understated humor of class division, and the way he directly talks to the reader, cleverly acknowledging their presence. I loved all the characters, they all are charming and amusing in their own way (even Cecil), especially Mr. Emerson and his son George Emerson (my new male literary crush). Lucy's character is very easy to relate to since a lot of young people are in what Mr. Emerson refers to as a "muddle". I can definitely identify with her condition and feelings. The pond scene with George, Freddy, and Mr.Beebe is great. My only complaint is with the ending, it is too abrupt, I wish there was more! This is the first E.M. Forster book I've read and I look forward to reading more of his work.
I saw the film right after I finished the book. I was so excited to see Daniel Day Lewis as Cecil! Great casting, best part of the film. I didn't like the guy who played George, I like mine better :)
