I can't say I really liked any of the characters much (Mr. Emerson excepted). They were all pretty one dimensional—hard to identify with.

Usually it would have been hard to keep going, but I was completely drawn in and on with the writing. I kept trying to figure out why, what was about Forster's writing that was so exceptional? I am seldom actually aware of the specific literary merits (it that's the right terminology) of a book, even one I really like but I was completely captivated with this one.

I read this in January and in truth cannot recall much of the plot, but I do recall the pleasure derived in the reading simply due to the talents of the author. I have added Forster's Aspects of the Novel to my soon-to-read list. I anticipate really liking it as I prefer nonfiction to fiction.
