Tender Is the Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald

4.0

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, only my second experience with Fitzgerald; I'm glad I hadn't attempted to read it previously, because I wouldn't have appreciated it at all. I think most readers will be struck by Dick's selfish demise, love it or hate it. I enjoyed it because I've known people to be narcissistic enough to want to be as needed as Dick felt Nicole needed him. Rosemary enables Dick his life regrets, and this self-indulgence begins Fitzgerald's amazing narrative of personal failure.
