A Room With A View is currenlty my favorite novel in the entire world. Those who bash it for being dull may be right but in my opinion have not given it the chance it so richly deserves. While the story may be a bit slow the writing is eloquent and captivating. The people who toss it aside as boring and dull miss the wonderful point that Forster is putting across. I wish i had read this work in school so that a teacher could explain it to me better than my own humble interpretation. I feel however that Forster illustrates in this novel the importance of love better than any other work I have encountered. I understand that this is and was no new concept but Forster brought it to a whole new level that I have yet put into words myself. I have read that this is actually not the strongest of Forster's novels and so I have resolved to read Howard's End before the summer is out.
