Benjamin's review
A Handful of Dust (Everyman's Library (Cloth)) by Evelyn Waugh
I loved Waugh's wit and sense of humour, but the ending of this book really, really irritated me. I know that it was supposed to be ironic or whatever, but it was still an annoying denouement. And why in the world did Lady Brenda fall for a loser like John Beaver? Her husband was 100 times better. This book had plot twists that came out of absolutely no where. Tony and Brenda appeared so happy at the beginning of the book, so why did Brenda become so discontent? Mr. Todd was perhaps the most unexpected, sly villain I have ever encountered. I really wanted to do him bodily harm after what he did to Tony.
