beautifully done
I loved A Room with a View. My stepdad recommended I read it to prepare for English in University. So when we needed to pick a novel for an oral book report, I chose this one. I wasn't sure if I was going to like it at first, but by the end of the second chapter I was hooked. The book drew me in subtely and before I knew it, I couldn't wait to find out what happened next. The movie version was also excellent.

I totally agree, Emma. I saw the film before reading the book, which I regret, because the slow pace which is essential to the aura of the story is better captured in reading than watching a film, however beatifully shot. But the performances of Denholm Elliot, Daniel Day Lewis and Simon Callow were a real treat!
