I am currently working on my Master's Thesis, but I procrastinate by reading all the books I can! In the meantime, I have a good job with fun people.

A Room with a View

A Room with a View

Good. A bit bizarre, but I liked most of it. I really wanted to smack the main girl across the back of the head a few times though, she was so dense. I'll admit that I also didn't understand some of the things that happened, like why she was so scared of the native talking about her. Once she was away from the city, she was still obsessing over a cab driver! I thought the idea of the boy and the father giving up their room was sweet, with the added amusement that the girl couldn't take the room the boy had been in, for propriety's sake. Very quaint! The girl's "long suffering" companion amused me to no end. Poor dear, always forced to take the best of everything, just for the girl's sake. Very funny!
