Query: Pretentious, overrated and boring

How this book, and Forster's work in general, can be so highly rated by critics who actually appear to be intelligent at the expense of genuine geniuses of the time like Joyce, Huxley is amazing. Just because I find something dry and boring doesn't mean it isn't great literature, but this does not apply to Forster, who is dry, boring, shows no psychological insight whatsoever, has wooden, unrealistic characters and dialogue and very few redeeming features at all. This novel has been described as "enchanting, epic and profound"; if you've heard this and are thinking of buying it then you should direct your attentions to Joyce's "Finnegans Wake", Huxley's "Point Counter Point" or T.S. Eliot's poetry, all of which are far superior to this aristocratic, narrow sighted rubbish.
