... characters are wonderfully written, and their development throughout the novel is a delight to watch. As well as this the novel contains a whole wealth of lesser characters who you either love, or love to hate. Mr Beebe, with his desire to please everybody, Miss Bartlett with her manipulative 'selflessness' and her obsession with what is 'proper', the exaggerated Miss Lavish. The events fit together perfectly, and certain scenes are bordering on the divine, the romping 'Twelfth Chapter' for example, where three of the...more

A Room with a View - E. M. Forster: Room With A View (194 words)

Forster's classic novel about a young girl's 'awakening' and her escape, as it were, from the social conventions that surround her is both witty and thoughtful. His writing style could never be condemned as being 'cliched' or 'uninteresting' - he writes with great variety and originality and draws humour from his characters beautifully.

As well as this the novel contains a whole wealth of lesser characters who you either love, or love to hate. Mr Beebe, with his desire to please everybody, Miss Bartlett with her manipulative 'selflessness' and her ... Read the complete review

It took him the best part of six years to answer that. What they end up doing, is embodying certain types and ... Read the complete review
