challx 's review for:
Brideshead Revisited
by Evelyn Waugh
-had very funny moments
-characterization of Flyte siblings was SO interesting, identifiable, and dynamic. obviously i am partial to julia, who came into the book taking a cigarette from charles’s mouth and ended it by (proverbially) putting it back. she was fascinating the whole way through
-wish that sebastian had come back at all at the end? felt odd that, having been so central to charles, he kind of disappeared from the pages. but interesting that charles “lost” both him and julia to religion in the end
-which makes me think: other than a slight shift towards religion, not sure how much charles was actually changed by the events at brideshead. maybe we don’t see enough of him in the present to know/the present is too close to the past. but he felt the most static of anybody.
