Howards End by E.M. Forster
3.5
challenging informative reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

My overwhelming memory of Howards End will be how cleverly it was written: Forster's writing style is intricate, interesting and enjoyable. The first and last 100 pages are exceptional, interwoven with excellent social commentary and with the premise manifesting well, however the book suffers a slump in the middle which I found a bit of a slog.
