Summary: A real-life account about how Hollywood can affect you
Review: I felt that this book gave an excellent account on the people of Hollywood and how it can affect them and the people around them. The story itself gave great detail on Hollywood life and gave insight into the industries that are there. I think people would like this story due to the fact that Evelyn Waugh made the story somewhat real.While reading the story, I began learning about the funeral industry and the many aspects of it. The thing that I found interesting is that you get the point of view from a pet cemetary and a cemetary for the people of Hollywood. I felt that this story was a little frightening, but then again it was like a twisted comedy. Overall, I liked this book very much because from a certain perspective it seemed like it was real. I would recommend this book to many of my friends.

Summary: A great book full of rich humor.
Review: The Loved One is full of commedy and drama. This book pokes fun at Forest Lawn, Holywood, and rich English snobishness. This book is great to take a day off and read by the fire. This book is a definite 4 out of 5 stars and a MUST READ!

Summary: I thought the book was good
Review: I thought that the book was good. It is kind of hard to read because the writer uses a lot of adjectives. That also makes the book more interesting because you have to pay attention more. The book has many characters that are very well discribed, it really paints a picture in your head. Another thing I like about is the ending. I think that enyone who reads it will enjoy it, young or old.

Summary: The Loved One
Review: This book is a very much a satire of the L.A. funeral industry, at which Dennis Barlow is made to confront because his long time English comrade and roomate Sir Francis Hinsley commits suicide after being fired from a Hollywood movie studio in which he had worked at for a long time. Whispering Glades, a cemetery for the stars is where he comes to bury his long time friend. Their he falls in love with a cosmetician for the dead stars. There's a twist to this humor, but once you pick up the book you just cant stop reading. But for first time Waugh readers you'll be glad you decided this book.

Summary: One Thumb Down, No Thumbs Up
Review: It's hard to give a review of this book. Personally I didn't like it. At the beginning before the book/strory starts, there is a Warning. The Warning states that in some parts it gets gruesome. It wasn't that bad but it did talk about dead bodies in the funeral home, and a persons death. I thought the plot of the story was pretty weird and dumb. I felt the characters didn't belong in that story. Its about cemeteries and then these weird characters come in and their problems don't have anything to do with the book. I'm not sure what the author was thinking about when he wrote this. I wouldn't recommend this book unless you want to waist your time and read something really strange. I say one thumb down no thumbs up because it had it's moments. But I really wouldn't recommend it to anyone else.

Summary: Each person in this book had his or her own little world
Review: I thought that this story was very bland and at times a bit indescribable. It showed that every person had their own little world in which they meditated and thought that the world revolves around them, dealing with their own, and only their own problems. In the end practically all three of the people were at a loss. The english-man had lost a fiance and a career in america. Mr. Joyboy had also lost his fiance, as well as a life for having the thought that people would accuse him of murder. Both having Ms. Thanatogenos as their fiance. And Ms. Thanatogenos losing her life and both men that she loved.
Rating: 
Summary: Two Thumbs down for Evelyn Waugh.
Review: The book was extremely dull to my point of view. The characters seem very dull and foolish. Mr. Joyboy and Mr. Slump Prove my point. The book was said to be a comic novel of the commercialization of death itself. I do not believe of that fact. This book was very boring and i do not recommend it to the any readers of any age. As i said this book recieves two thumbs down.4
