A Room With A View

E. M. Forster, 1909 Date Read: 12/14/22

♥( ˘ ³˘)♥ But First, an Announcement! This is the 70th novel completed on the LLL!! ♥( ˘ ³˘)♥

This read like off-brand Jane Austen. Like Persuasion except by Walmart. It is very formulaic, and the plot isn't very well constructed. Basically, people don't like other people for no actual reason, and then make poor decisions based on it.

This is the second novel by this author I've read; the first was A Passage to India. I didn't actually state if I liked or disliked that novel (it was okay) at the time and I feel like that one was also a bit formulaic. Like Forster plotted the story out on a time line and wrote beat by beat - except over, and over, and over for multiple novels. Each went like this:

Meet the Cast - An Older Woman and a Younger Woman travel together - They disagree about the people they meet - Younger woman is engaged - younger woman breaks off engagement - finale

The main difference is that the finale of A Passage to India is an Indian-Muslim being acquitted of fraudulent rape charges, and of this novel it is the young woman marrying an UnSuitable Suitor TM.

It was all just very MeH.

Length: idk I read it on Kindle but it was fairly short

ReReadability: nawww

Classic: it is definitely an Exemplar of a Type of novel but you'd have more fun reading Pride and Prejudice
