Anyone??? I saw it in the store and was curious...I would love someone who knows it to tell me if it is worth it?

Never read the book but the television series was very good. They are re-making it at the moment as a film with Emma Thompson.

It's a wonderful novel, Kitty. I would recommend it. If you want to read how the British aristocracy lived, this is a good account. The Flyte family were an upper class English family, but had converted to Roman Catholicism, which I think would have been unusual. It's narrated by the character, Charles Ryder, who is a friend of Sebastian, the youngest son in the family.
I read it after the TV series was shown. But, if you can, read the book first and then see if you can rent a copy of the series. It looks like the series was shown on PBS in the US: Brideshead Revisited

The new film looks like it might be interesting, Jenny. Brideshead Revisited (film)

Thanks guys....I was looking for a few different things to read...this looks good...I do have The Forsyth Chronicles here too..but haven't gotten into it yet...LONG book.

Yes, Kitty, watch out for Aloysius in 'Brideshead' He's the best character in it !

I finally read it...very good...at firzt I thought maybe Charlez and Zebaztian were more than friendz (if ya know what I mean)I think thiz may be one of my favorite bookz

Well, with those names they certainly sound rather bohemian.
