In fact they keep printing it and people keep reading it. After 80 years and some. And not only in the UK.
Jon, if you have to take as a target something, why don't you do it in a little more realistic way? Constructively like? A propos?

But I've also read critic reviews the opposite way where the critic said something wasn't good when in fact, it was good. Look at the thread for fantasy authors you (and I) should never read. There is a lot of disagreement there. And given that this Italian critic liked something so bad means he's poor at his job.
Some things hold up well over time anbd other things just become dated.
A Passage to India is one of those that's become dated.
