Summary: The most obvious but enchanting romances ever written.
Review: Never has such a book been written that combines with such artistry the romance and charm of Florence with the passionate love of two idealised and idealistic yet incredibly indeering charcters. I want to read it again and again until I know it as well as if it were my own life.
Rating: 
Summary: The confusion of love beautifully portrayed.
Review: This book can be read on different levels; eg. simply as a love story, on a deeper level as a study of the "muddle" of life or the struggle in to maturity etc. I found it amusing (during the talks given by author to reader), well written with many descriptive images of Florence etc., and romantic. Forster manages to give the reader the feeling that they are looking in to these character's lives without their knowledge (perhaps even as if you are looking upon them from a "room with a view") and you feel very involved in the story despite the third person perspective (lapsing in to occansions with the author speaking directly to readers). Forster originally wished to make this a tragedy; I feel we need some hope now and then, that life is not always tragic and this book might give you some. I recommend it to any romantics.

Summary: A Wonderful and touching book - fun to read!
Review: A Room with a View is what a romantic novel should be: light and fun, entertaining and sweet- I thoroughly enjoyed reading it! Especially touching was old Mr. Emerson's conversation with Lucy towards the end. And none of the reviewers mentioned the subtle humor in this book! This book was funny! As for those of you who gave this wonderful book a poor review you must be young and/or you are an avid reader of literary geniuses such as Danielle Steele. Watch some more TV you people and stay aware from criticising great books you did not understand!

Summary: The absolute worst book I have ever read!!
Review: I was forced to read this book for an English assignment in ninth grade. It took me forever to read because it didn't show any point to me. The characters were very confusing and ahrd to keep up with. I never really got into the book because it was so boring. I basically read the words on the page and didn't take anything in because I couldn't. Please don't waste your time on this book. Read something from Michael Crichton instead.

Summary: Lucy Wants a View of Life
Review: A Room with a View is a spare and striking novel about a man and a woman and about class and societal expectations and pressures. Lucy and her cousin Charlotte are offered rooms with a view of Florence by a Mr. Emerson and his son, who are willing to exchange. The strict and pinched Miss Bartlett does not wish to have an obligation to the Emersons, who are deemed less than polite society will condone. Their rector, Mr. Beebe, tells them he believes the exchange is proper and the ladies get their view of Florence. It becomes clear that Lucy herself wants a view of LIFE and later confesses to her fiance, a priggy intellectual, that she imagines him always in a room with no windows, with no view. The novel's love story is compelling, but the secondary themes of class and society structures are equally strong, with the truly noble characters emerging in the end with great strength.
Rating:
Summary: Highly Entertaining
Review: Without a doubt A ROOM WITH A VIEW is one of the most charming classics out in print. Just like JANE EYRE, it's about the passion between a man and a woman, one that won't die even when there are boundaries to be passed.
Rating:
Summary: Utterly romantic
Review: This is a TRUE blue romance. It both entertains and teaches the way society was in those times of Forster. Teenagers will find a Lucy or George in them and older readers will fall in love with the whimsical story.
Rating:
Summary: Falls into the arms of love?
Review: A rich and scandalous story of a young woman who falls in love with a solemn, clumsy sort of man in his arms, literally. Oddly enough I don't see any hype in this book, which is the best thing, no hype.
Rating: 
Summary: Over-rated Plot That Goes Nowhere
Review: I hate to be the one to write a bad review about this book, however I feel there is a lot of hype surrounding this classic that is not deserved. The plot is fairly simple, and very similar to that of Romeo and Juliet. The girl loves a rogue, but her parents want her to marry the spectacular man they like. Etc. Some scenes in this Edwardian book I agree or slightly amusing, but it is not worth the read.
Rating:
Summary: A winner!
Review: E.M. Forster's A ROOM WITH A VIEW is simply the most romantic book ever, but then again if you dislike reading about the culture and society of the turn of the century, this book shall be passed. Other than that, go for it! Buy this book! It sure is worth it.
