A review by pk1
Brideshead Revisited: 75th Anniversary Edition by Evelyn Waugh

3.0

I really thought this was going to be a 4ish star read for the first half, but it got very boring in the second half. Sebastian is the most interesting character, but he is hardly present in the latter end of the novel. Also, the more I read, the more I couldn't help but think that "Brideshead" is basically the poor (British) man's "Great Gatsby" through a Catholic lens. I can easily imagine this is the kind of novel that gets assigned in college English classes for analysis.
