I kind of agree with Elise about being ticked at Zadie Smith, I really so far don’t like the book and I think I feel a little bit bad about it.  First, yes Beauty is much much easier to read I think but I am soooooooooo bored with it.  Granted the story line is difference but not difference enough to capture my attention like, when Jerome writes to tell his father that he is marrying Victoria and he immediately sets off on a plane it’s like, ohhh no here we go again.  I guess I have just found the book to repetitive and a little predictable in some areas and I don’t like this.  I know this is supposed to be a great novel based on Howards End but so far I think that its kind of crappy that it is so closely based on the same some what story line.  Maybe this is illustrating evolution but I feel bad because I think I am looking for something more, more crestivity more links, not just a rephrased plot line.  Although I’m not thrilled with the book I still have hope there will be something more, I have only noticed this in the very beginning so I haven’t given up totally.
