. . . My dear child, the bromide of sodium (if that's what you call it) proved perfectly useless. I don't mean that it did me no good, but that I never had occasion to take the bottle out of my bag. It might have done wonders for me if I had needed it; but I didn't, simply because I have been a wonder myself. Will you believe that I have spent the whole voyage on deck, in the most animated conversation and exercise?

What's the old adage? Don't judge a book by its cover. Well, that's one of the themes of The Point of View.Written by Elinor Glyn and published in 1913, The Point of View is entertaining even though the lovemaking in the book is considered mild by today's standards. Actually, I'm pretty sure that making love back in the early 1900's meant to court or woo someone. So, yeah, there's no sex in these pages, folks.The story opens in the Grand Hotel in Rome with a young woman named Stella. While Stella's at dinner with her aunt and uncle and they're discussing matters that, well, aren't particularly interesting, a peculiar man named Sasha Roumovski enters the room. Suddenly, everyone's eyes are on him and it's not because Sasha is attractive. It's quite the opposite.The story's premise is that Stella's hedged in by her domineering aunt, uncle, their maid, and her soon to be fiance, a priest by the name of Rev. Eustace Medlicott. Stella can't stand her betrothed and during her stay at the hotel, she's entranced by Sasha Roumovski, a man unlike anyone she's ever seen before.Her relatives call him ugly and distasteful. But Stella sees differently. Through her various meetings with Sasha, she changes her point of view about life and love.Stella is so naive and innocent that I couldn't help but laugh. Her rebellious streak is one reason I enjoyed this book. Stella eventually takes control of her life and refuses to be shoved around by others any longer. With the help of Sasha, she unleashes a side of herself that she never knew existed.There are a few down sides to the book, however. The reoccurring use of exclamations points throughout the book got on my nerves! Also, Gyln had a few instances of narrator intrusion at the start of the story that she seemed to avoid through the rest of the book, thankfully. Numerous adverbs on the dialogue tags bugged me constantly as well, but that's just my personal preference.In the end, I laughed and loved the last line of dialogue in the book. This story is too adorable. I wouldn't let its imperfections scare you away. If you want a great message and the possibility of taking a closer look at your own life, you'll probably enjoy the Point of View.
