'This Side of Paradise' is the tale of a young rich man who loses his money and that changes his life.

The story has an interesting character in the center and feels quite autumn-y as it is mostly set in the college years of the main lead.

The romantic adventures were also entertaining to follow and showed the character's change from being a boy to becoming a man.

However, there were some parts that were quite boring.
