Title: Emma Thompson Brings the book to Life
Review: Howards End is one of my favourite novels. I find myself applying it's quiet little lessons to my life rather often and have gotten to know it's wonderfully winding structure of a story quite intimately. What amazes me is that I am even more fond of the novel since having heard it read by Emma Thompson on a rather long road trip.There were several others sharing a car, some of whom freely admit that they might never have picked up the book or seen the film had it not been for the book-to-tape adaption of this novel. We actually listened to it twice and all agreed the the wonderful story was made even more wonderful and lively by Emma Thompson's wonderful way of reading and her witty of portrayal each character.If you've grown tired of this story, Forster or literature in general, I highly recommend a road trip with these tapes!
