Scoop
from Back Bay Books
Price: $10.19
Customer Review:
Overall, I'm conflicted in my feelings for this book. On the main themes - how journalists make stories up to sell papers, how rewards and punishments are completely random with no regards to merit, and how humans are generally horrible and stupid - the book is very funny in Waugh's dryly satirical... more info

Decline and Fall
from Little Brown & Co (T)
Customer Review:
This is the novel that made a young Evelyn Waugh's reputation in 1928. "Decline and Fall" is dripping with early glimpses of the comic satire that Waugh would come to produce. The story follows the improbable events of Paul Pennyfeather's life after he is sent down from Scone College, Oxford.more info

Put Out More Flags
from Back Bay Books
Price: $11.19
Customer Review:
This book generates a love for the main character whose soul is pure but contaminated with classic British spoil - he is a product of aristocratic inequitable advantage.
Basil Seal is the son of the Lady Seal, and lives through his mid-30's doing primarily nothing of great importance. In this... more info

The Loved One
from Back Bay Books
Price: $11.19
Customer Review:
This is a satiric and a dark humored novel; it's very well written, but I found it hard to laugh at the characters, sensing more to their misery then I did of the humor of industrialized and specialized funerals for the well-to-do or the artist. I can only say that you should read it.
