Title: Good book, but a word of caution
Review: A Passage to India is an excellently written book, and a benchmark in the literary age of British Imperialism. It deserves a place on the bookshelf with Great Expectations and The Grapes of Wrath. The symbols are rich, deep, and thought provoking, and Forster provides a realistic storyline and a timeless classic.However, a word of caution. A Passage to India is an excellent book, but not an excellent story. If you don't like deciphering symbols and "reading between the lines," and instead prefer a page-turning plot that produces sweaty fingers and a rapid heart rate, this book isn't for you. An excellent story with a similar setting and similar circumstances is Burmese Days, by George Orwell, which takes place in Burma under the imperialist regime of the British Empire.
