Book Reviews of Brideshead Revisited: The Sacred and Profane Memories of Captain Charles Ryder
Book Review: Charming and delicious
Summary: 5 Stars
A novel of remarkable depth and wistfulness tied to sometimes outrageous humour and a whiff of satire -- truly a delicate balancing act, and here carried off with panache. 'Brideshead Revisited' is a riveting, immersive novel that will carry you to a nostalgic yesteryear of the British aristocracy, complete with all its hidden warts and lesions. A short but lovely read.Book Review: An Exquisite Novel
Summary: 5 Stars
Brideshead Revisited in one of those masterpieces that your find you love more each time you re-read it. It's funny, sad, serious and poignant. It shows the power and the weakness of religion. Waugh's characters are vivid and his language and imagery is masterful.Book Review: Brideshead Revisited
Summary: 5 Stars
Classic English Historical Fiction. A glimpse into the eccentricities of the former English aristocratic lives. See the PBS mini series too, but the movie currently out doesn't do the book justice like the mini-series.Book Review: excellent reading
