Publisher's Summary:
F. Scott Fitzgerald's first novel This Side of Paradise was published in 1920 and quickly became a best-seller. This book's popularity has often been linked to the lifestyle of the youth at the time. It was the beginning of the roaring 1920s, and This Side of Paradise embodied all the fun and excitement of the era.
Carefree, party loving Amory Blaine leaves his home in Minnesota for Princeton University, with his sight set on a high-energy career in New York City. At Princeton, the ambitious and self-centered Amory longs to be included with the popular crowd, and become one of those he views as entitled, but along the way, he indulges in a string of romances with beautiful, young women.
While chasing his golden dream, Amory's youth is slipping away, along with the past. Will young Amory understand how fleeting life is before it is too late?
Members Reviews:
Generally uninspiring
Maybe it's the time in which I'm reading Fitzgerald, but I'm not at all as impressed. I've recently read The Great Gatsby and TSOP, and although his style is generally poetic and conversational, with some beautifully turned phrases, all in all I find it pretentious and boring. I'm almost 50, so the angst of youth has long abated, which no doubt lends to my dissatisfaction. Also, in today's world, with all the problems and ills of society, the subject matter seems frivolous. But maybe that's just what you need. If so, this one is for you!
Okay for his first book
I don't know why this was a big hit in the 20s. Perhaps because it gave some in site of the wealthy society of the times. I found it rather boring and it dragged on. Fitzgerald wrote much better stuff later on.
Ehhh
I read it because I have never read Fitzgerald. Current authors more engaging. Won't do a follow up Fitzgerald soon
great
