NOT WORTH CONSUMING
I was particularly disappointed in this novel, primarily because the movie version is so good, and also because I loved every other Forster book I have read. But this one seemed muddy, wandering, without much point and as faintly condescending toward Indians as the British sahib characters. It also seemed several chapters too long. Like Miss Quested, I was left wishing I could have seen a bit more of the real India.
