Brideshead Revisited

This book was not bad; easy-to-read, decent plotline, strong characters. I understood it was about religion, and Catholicism, though I was not quite sure what it was trying to say. I was surprised I liked the movie as much as I did. It didn't hurt that Charles was hot-hot-hot. The basic idea and plot points were written in to the movie. But there were several large changes. The implied homosexuality in the book was blatant in the movie, in particular when it came to Sebastian. The scene where Charles "buys" Julia is completely fabricated. Charles was interested in Julia the moment he saw her, where in the book, the attraction comes years later. Charles walking into the "light" at the end was also added, but it was a nice touch. I suppose he finally found God.
