Chaos
We left this young man aimlessly drifting in chaos. He began with no desire to kiss a girl only to love where, in his heart, it would remain only unrequited with 3 or4 young women. He was an intellectual with no ambition after a Princeton education and fighting in a war. I had high hopes for him. I suppose if he lived in this day and time, we would find him at Starbucks playing chess and writing poetry. I enjoyed it but expected more.
Fitzgerald is one of my favorite authors. I loved Gatsby and Benjamin Button
Fitzgerald is one of my favorite authors. I loved Gatsby and Benjamin Button, this was yet another great tale, with great characters woven through. Certainly a hidden gem as was Benjamin Button (but we had to watch that for a psychology class which lead me to read it -- the book was much better than the movie as is often the case.)
Worth It! Such an interesting piece of literature.
Worth It! Such an interesting piece of literature. Unfortunately, I ordered the large print, so I never finished the book, it was just too cumbersome to read on such huge pages. But I loved reading F Scott's first work. Intriguing.
Overall, a good read for a classic.
I downloaded to culture myself with a classic writer. Story is pretty good, kinda jumps around and of course written in past style, so some of the verbage is unknown to me. Overall, a good read for a classic.
False advertisement
So I recieved this book and Iâm very unhappy with it! First of all this book looks nothing like the one pictured.It is very small&Iâm sure it is not the size that it says it is(much much smaller).Too small for me to read! There is no return label as well! Iâm pretty sure this is false advertisement! Iâm expecting to recieve a reaponse before I choose to report this!
