Despite having read this twice, I still don’t know what to think…

I think that ultimately, Charles gets taken in by the creamy English charm of the Flyte family and when he no longer has the family he doesn’t have much else.  Do I believe his conversion to Catholicism? No, not really.  Overall, I don’t think that Waugh sells Catholicism in a believable way at all in this book.  As I mentioned to others in my book club, I think that the movie Dogma did a better job of selling Catholicism than Brideshead Revisited.

I’m really glad that I read this and I’m so thankful that I read it as part of a book club, because I really benefited from all of the fantastic discussions we had.
