Book Reviews of The Loved One
Book Review: An Average Book
Summary: 3 Stars
The Loved One was a pretty interesting book, and i can't say i have ever (or will ever)read a book like this. It was extremely original and some parts were funny. I especially liked the Guru Brahmin. I must say though that i was expecting more. When I read the back cover it said that The Loved One was a comedy about the commercialization of death. I did not think it was that funny. Also the first three or four chapters bored me, and I had to read them 2 or 3 times because I was not paying attention. The end is pretty smart though. Overall I found the book to be average. I liked the end but not the beginning. I would not recommend this book unless you like books with ironic endings or you really like English Literature.Book Review: An Interesting Book
Summary: 3 Stars
I found this book to be beyond boring and dull during the beginning. But as the story progressed, it became interesting and it changed my views on reading. Now I like to read and I learned that reading is important to my education. I hope many students read this book. Thank you.Book Review: An all around well written story of life and death
Summary: 4 Stars
The Loved One is an iteligently written story with plenty of comedy, tragedy, and drama. It is an excellent story for anyone. The characters portrayed in this book are realistic and can be related to easily. This book gave me a new perception of life and death and after reading it I fell I have a better understanding of the two. I recommend this book to anyone. It will give you like it did me a new perception of life. The book talks about death in such a way as to make you feel as if death is nothing at all. Evelyn Waugh is a accomplished writter with a mind for writting. this is one of the best books i have read in a very long time!Book Review: An enjoyable book to read this summer
Summary: 4 Stars
The book The Loved One was an enjoyable book to read this long hot summer. While it kept me inside, rather than swimming or playing water polo outside somedays of the summer, it was well worth it. It stands way out in its class with its own destinctivness. The Loved One isnt half bad neither half good. I'd sayit was an excellent book any day.Book Review: An entertaining journey to the place of your Loved Ones
Summary: 5 Stars
The Loved One is a hilarious story of what happens to your loved ones when it is time to put them to their resting place. The arrangements that are made by the funeral staff and what they do makes one amused to keep on reading the book. They turn death into a stand up comedy. I recomend you to read this book as your #1 selection in comedy and tragedy. How the author of this book mixes the elements of joy and death makes this book so unique and funny. The characters play in this book marvelous as if they have their own minds in their own world. The ending of this book is unexpected and suprisingly good. All I can say is read it.
