Discussion of the author's style

Forster was notorious for using small animals as plot devices (see McGuffin the horse-fly in A Passage to India) and would often wear hats to the opera. His flamboyant use of past perfect present nouns can be confusing to new readers.

Evil! Evil! :lol:
Excellent book. Five stars!

One of my all-time favs Litany!

I'd have to say Finch was my favorite character, so honest, so noble. So self-sacrificing.

Except for the bit where he killed the pawnbroker and her sister. That was just... mean.

Ahhh, but lest you forget, that was an Honor Killing, makes all the difference, eh?
I found his method of execution especially interesting, death by MMA. Original.
