Oh - oops. I guess I should delete my copy then. Shouldn't have been so trusting when I downloaded. Although I must admit I'm not feeling terribly guilty of depriving the author of money in this case.
I actually just finished reading
A Room with a View this morning. I gave it 3 stars, but it feels a bit more like a 2.75 stars to me.
I enjoyed it - and have to admit reveling in the ending a little. However, I'm not going "off the deep end" in rapture over it.
Just about to start
Under the Amoral Bridge by Gary Ballard.
