This Side of Paradise (Penguin twentieth-century classics)

It was...intersting. The style was unique because it combined many different types of writing styles. The story was intersting, but there wasn't much a plot to drive the story forward. It was mostly just glimpses of a life that was based heavily on Fitgeralds' own life.

Still, for some reason, this goes down as one of my favorite reads of all time. Perhaps it was the tumultuous time in my life when I read it...not sure, but F. Scott really was one of America's greats.

A must read for all young folks. a wonderful read.if your off to college u will enjoy

The coolest thing about this novel is you can actually read F. Scott Fitzgerald's writing evolving throughout the book. Because it's semi-autobiographical you get to know all about the author in his first novel ever. While the first couple of chapters he seems to be working out a few kinks in his writing style, by the end of the book he has completely captivated you.

too slow

My favorite book!

A good story about a serious young man and how quickly one can get old.

he read my mind a hundred years ago

if you thought that the Great Gatsby was a downer, this one will really make you sad. filled with nihilistic views, its a great story of a man spiraling down to the end.
