It was well-written, but I found it to be extremely boring. It could have also been shorter, with details that didn’t need to be included. I would have quit reading after a bit if it wasn’t a school assignment.

Read for book/film club April 2011
Forster can just be so depressing! I feel that I need to read more context & criticism on this book to fully appreciate his accomplishment. Reading it post-colonial theory, I find it a bit painful. How progressive was Forster's depiction of the hypocrisy of British imperialism for the time?
