A review by anii0
This Side of Paradise by F. Scott Fitzgerald

3.0

Although a short book, it took me almost a year to finish because of reading breaks and an unwillingness to continue. However, I finally determined to finish it. I think the only thing that made me continue with this rubbish, and the only thing that made me give three stars, is that Fitzgerald writes wonderfully. Damn, even the most boring parts read like sweet lullabies. I feel the only reason I continued on with this book is just to read more of Fitzgerald's words; they're quite good. But the story, "poor" Amory Blaine, are not good no matter how much Fitzgerald tries to impress on his readers the idea that Amory's maddening life is worth reading about.
