5.0 out of 5 stars
Penetrating, Fascinating
As literary biographies go, this is pure excellence. One gains a better understanding of not just Waugh's writing, and not just the personality behind the writing, but also the social and historical context that helped shape Waugh. Martin Stannard has done an incredibly comprehensive job. But the fascinating Evelyn Waugh stands up to such scrutinizing detail.

disappointing
Very verbose, little power, read Patey if you are truly interested in Waugh. It is a pity someone of such little breeding has addressed Waugh at all.
