It's really 4,5 stars. Turns out that the horrible movie was not Forster's fault, but everyone else involved should be hanged; I was perfectly enchanted by this Roman Culture-o-Philic novel. Ah, I pity the fall of the (more recent) Empire, the aristocracy snubs each other so masterly sublime!

Actually, it would be fun to take any novel by Forster, Maugham, Waugh or Henry James and substitute the man whore synonym "cad" with "douche bag". But I'm digressing.

I read this while I wasn't really in the mood, so it probably gets a lower rating than it deserves.

This was an interesting love-story given the time it was written. It was interesting to see the relationships between the different socio-economic classes. The part that was the most interesting to me was how this book was so progressive for its time, but yet from a modern-perspective it is still so old fashioned. It was a nice mix.

I loved the movie when I saw it in high school, and then I just had to read the book. I definitely was not disappointed.
