This one dropped off a cliff, hard. The writing was interesting to begin with, and it brought up some very interesting points; however, it would have been much more rewarding if it was cut in half. The sheer lack of the representatives of poverty, the Basts, is also a form of insult - the rich live essentially with impunity. Howards End really did have potential, as Forster does write interestingly! It just gets a bit too muddled to see the story through satisfactorily.
