Summary: Stuck in the View
Review: Hola fellow readers, For my British Lietrature 2 class in college, we had to choose an outside novel to read for class. I chose to read Forester's A Room With a View. I must say that I was amazed at how quickly I was caught up in the story. I felt as though I myself was a character within the book. I would recommend this book to anyone. It is a wonderful read. Very simple, yet so complex at the same time. I plan to read many more of Forester's works by the pool this summer!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A simple, yet complex book
Review: I don't think I've read anything so simple, yet complex. I could feel the author's own wrestling with the concept of immortal and soul love, and he so beautifully conveyed it this book. I've reread it twice, and keep finding little gems of beauty hidden in the lines. George and Lucy's need to be with each other to keep them away from the darkness in themselves is extremely powerful. In their merging, at the end, only then did they feel a sense of completeness and wholeness. Their obstacles in getting there were amusing and cathartic all at the same time. From the moment that Lucy witnessed the death of the Italian, life wasn't the same; the death signified a death within herself, and only through a love as deep as she had for George would she be able to understand the concept that love and death are very close together in feeling - the type of love that comes but once in a lifetime. A powerful book, masked as a light satiric period piece. Read it again and again to see all the layers of emotion!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I Couldn't Put This Book Down!
Review: This was one of the best books that I have ever read. I was entranced with it up 'till the last page. It should have been on the list of the 100 Best Books Written This Century. A classic in every sense, this book is one that will be a part of my collection for many years.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love this book
Review: I have never read anything by E.M. Forster, but I decided to give him a try and i am soooo glad that i did! A Room with a View is sweet, believable, and romantic. It's utterly charming, and doesn't take very much time to get into at all. Lucy is a believable herione, muddled by the conditions presented to her by the society of her time. I put off doing my biology project to read this book, and who knows what kind of grade i'll get on it when i turn it in tomorrow, but what the heck, it was worth it! (i hope)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: George Emerson is a very strange Character
Review: I first read A ROOM WITH A VIEW when I was young and I enjoyed tremendously. After reading it again recently, all the subtle humor and irony behind what seems to be just a simple love story was still there.

This is one of English literature's lost work. The subtle love that George first expresses towards Lucy after holding her head in his lap after she faints was powerful. All he did was hold her, but the strong and foreign love he has for her can be felt.

When they go out to the country with a few other friends, you can feel how nervous George was, not even talking to anyone and just fidgiting, avoiding Lucy's brillant eyes.

The story then climaxes when he just strolls up to Lucy in a field of tall weeds and kisses her. It then goes on to become steamy when he kisses her the moment after her fiance goes off to find his hat.

Forster recognizes that true love takes time to develop and that lovers dont always say or do the right thing.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: gets better every time i pick it up
Review: This was the first novel I had ever read Forster, and it certainly will not be the last! The characters are humorous, and the story line is soooo romantic! The chapters were packed with hidden exciting and romantic scenes. A must-read book!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Praising the beauty of A Room With A View
Review: A Room with a View is a book of supreme beauty. Forster has matered the subtlety of the English language and conveys his understanding of aural appeal in every sentence. A Room with a View goes much further than merely examining the structure of life and social class in old England. Forster probes into the nature of human existence and human love. He ventures intrepidly into the realm of the unseen, and the spiritual. And, produces a book of the utmost lyrical continuity and depth.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The most romantic story

Summary: One of the Great Classics!!!
Review: I just finished reading this & was thrilled with the ending! To be allowed to follow your heart, aren't we glad we are entering the 21st Century! It is great to have these classic books rereleased for enjoyment by current and future generations. If you liked Pride & Prejudice, The Scarlet Pimpernal or Sense & Sensibility you will truly enjoy this book!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Tender
Review: One of the most tender and true to the heart works by E.M. Forster, teenagers as well as adults will find this classic one that will keep them up all night. The gentle love of young middle classed Emerson for the wealthy Lucy his only heightened when his uncontrollable love for her fluctuates. He doesn't know how to tell her!!! And when he does try to tell her, he only shocks and suspends her. Fantastic!
