A Room With a View

• A Room With a View - E.M. Forster

I saw the movie back in high school and I've always planned to read the book, but didn't get to it until now. I'm partial to books that take place in Firenze so consider that before taking my opinion. =) I really enjoyed the book. I love the charater George Emerson. There's just something about him that intrests me. I also like Mr. Emerson, and Mrs. Lavish. It's pretty easy to guess the pesonality of the characters simply by their name in this book. Mr. Eager, Ms. Honeychurch, Mrs. Lavish, etc. There are times when I roll my eyes at the period gossip, but overall I like the conversations and Forsters writing style. It's short and can be read in a day so even if you don't like it you won't waste to much time and it's a classic that should be read no mattter what.

(Sigh) I long for a room with a view of il duomo.
