theelliemo 's review for:
A Room with a View
by E.M. Forster
As a portrait of a young girl’s coming-of-age in a time before women had the vote, and the class system was very clearly defined, this book has its place as an important book to read. And I’m glad I read it. But I can’t say I’m enjoyed it. There are some moments of comedy in the behaviour of some of the characters - Ms Bartlett’s attempts at explaining her obviously selfish behaviours as being solely for the sake of etiquette are exquisite - but there seems to be also a lot of unnecessary nonsense in this book. Forster’s writing didn’t make me feel engaged with any of the characters. I fully expected to love this book, so I’m probably more disappointed with it than if I’d gone into it with no expectations.
