    REVIEW

    Aspects of Novel by EM Forster

    Aspects of the Novel" by E.M. Forster is a classic book that talks about how to write a good novel. Forster gave

    lectures about this topic at Trinity College, Cambridge in 1927. The book gives helpful ideas and tips about the

    different parts and methods that make a novel work well.

    Forster starts by talking about what makes a novel special, saying that its main job is to tell a story. He goes into

    detail about the different parts of a story, like the people in it, the things that happen, and how they're connected.

    He explains that it's really important for a story to be put together well, so that it grabs the attention of readers and

    keeps them interested from beginning to end.

    One of the main things that makes 'Aspects of the Novel' great is that Forster can explain complicated ideas in a

    way that's easy to understand. He writes in a casual and friendly style, so even people who don't know much about

    literary theory can follow along. He uses examples and stories from famous books to help us get what he's talking

    about."

    Forster also talks about how time is used in novels, like going back in time to tell something that happened earlier

    or giving hints about what will happen later. He believes that using time in these ways can make a story more

    exciting and have a stronger effect on readers

    Here are some positive and negative viewpoints from the Book:-

     Clear analysis: Forster's book helps you understand and enjoy novels more by exploring different aspects

    like the story, characters, and writing style. It's like a helpful guide that explains and enhances your

    appreciation of novels.

     Easy to understand: Forster's writing is straightforward and easy to understand. He can make complicated

    ideas simple, so even if you're not an expert in literature, you can still follow along. It's like having a

    friendly chat about books..

     Outdated examples: Because the book is from the 1920s, some of the examples Forster uses might feel old-

    fashioned or unfamiliar to us today. It can be harder to connect with those references and fully grasp their

    meaning.

     Limited coverage: While Forster talks about many aspects of novels, some readers might feel that he

    doesn't go into enough detail on certain topics or leaves out important aspects.

     Personal opinion: Forster's analysis in his book is based on his own opinions and what he likes. It's

    interesting to hear his thoughts, but not everyone may agree with him or have the same ideas about novels..

    To conclude "Aspects of the Novel" is a must-read for people who want to become writers or enjoy reading and
    want to understand how fiction works. Forster's beautiful writing and smart observations make this book really
    helpful for anyone who wants to better understand and appreciate novels.
