Brideshead revisited

Brideshead Revisited Evelyn Waugh's novel, Brideshead Revisited is a mysterious book, in the fact that the prologue gives insight into what is seemingly the thoughts of a man without a wanted purpose, living only for his work. The first chapter then begins with our main character's entry into his college years, and the unusual experiences that occur. The book reads at a somewhat constant pace, but tends to jump around a bit, as it is …

…the dialect used and the somewhat odd statements, namely Anthony. Charles describes him as "…as foreign as a Martian." His description couldn't be more precise. Although I have a few pet peeves about Waugh's writing style in Brideshead Revisited, he has certainly proven himself to be capable in the field of allowing his readers to be able to enter his characters emotionally. I only hope that this trait again becomes prevalent as the novel continues.
