You can like and dislike and write what you want of course, but do aim to somone less off target then Forster, one of the most loved writers of his time. Loved now.

D'Amico is a well known and appreciated critic and university professor of English Literature.
Not everyone gets everything correct. And in this case, D'Amico missed the target.
