Book Review: "A Burnt-Out Case" by Graham Greene

I really like Graham Greene.  This is another fine novel.  A famous person gets burnt out on life, love, religion.  He hops on a boat to the furthest reaches of Africa and hides out in a leper colony with  a bunch of priests.  He didn't hide well enough.  The world finds him and problems ensue.

Sad ending.  I wouldn't say predictable, but more like inevitable.  I liked the book.  The dialogue was terrific.  Our main man gets into some wonderful conversation on life, love and religion.

If you like Greene, you will love it.
