Very Differant

In response to I must say I agree, written by Eva on September 12, 1998 at 09:23:43] Room With a View is just delightful. But it is quite different in that it is LOL funny, while AK is gut-wrenchingly passionate. IMHO
Yes, they are very differant. I don't actually compare the two books to eachother, except in the fact that Forster has such a tallent for putting words together, and making them really beautiful. I'm assuming it's because it was translated, but AK is really lacking in that; the words don't mean as much, if you get my drift.
